8 In word and deed honor your father,that all blessings may come to you.
9 A father’s blessing gives a person firm roots,but a mother’s curse uproots the growing plant.
10 Do not glory in your father’s disgrace,for that is no glory to you!
11 A father’s glory is glory also for oneself;they multiply sin who demean their mother.
12 My son, be steadfast in honoring your father;do not grieve him as long as he lives.
13 Even if his mind fails, be considerate of him;do not revile him because you are in your prime.
14 Kindness to a father will not be forgotten;it will serve as a sin offering—it will take lasting root.
