1 Children, listen to me, your father;act accordingly, that you may be safe.
2 For the Lord sets a father in honor over his childrenand confirms a mother’s authority over her sons.
3 Those who honor their father atone for sins;
4 they store up riches who respect their mother.
5 Those who honor their father will have joy in their own children,and when they pray they are heard.
6 Those who respect their father will live a long life;those who obey the Lord honor their mother.
7 Those who fear the Lord honor their father,and serve their parents as masters.
