3Listen to me your father, O children;
act accordingly, that you may be kept in safety.
2 For the Lord honours a father above his children,
and he confirms a mothers right over her children.
3 Those who honour their father atone for sins,
4 and those who respect their mother are like those who lay up treasure.
5 Those who honour their father will have joy in their own children,
and when they pray they will be heard.
6 Those who respect their father will have long life,
and those who honour* their mother obey the Lord;
7 they will serve their parents as their masters.*
8 Honour your father by word and deed,
that his blessing may come upon you.
9 For a fathers blessing strengthens the houses of the children,
but a mothers curse uproots their foundations.
