² For the Lord honours a father above his children,
   and he confirms a mother’s 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;
¹² My child, help your father in his old age,
   and do not grieve him as long as he lives;
¹³ even if his mind fails, be patient with him;
   because you have all your faculties do not despise him.
¹⁴ For kindness to a father will not be forgotten,
   and will be credited to you against your sins;
