3. For God has honored the father in the sons, and, when seeking the judgment of the mother, he has confirmed it in the children.
4. He who loves God will plead with him on behalf of sins, and will keep himself away from sin, and will be heeded in the prayers of his days.
5. And, like one who stores up treasure, so also is he who honors his mother.
6. He who honors his father will find happiness in his own children, and he will be heeded in the day of his prayer.
7. He who honors his father will live a long life. And he who obeys his father will be a refreshment to his mother.
8. He who fears the Lord honors his parents, and he will serve them as masters, for it is they who conceived him.
9. In word and deed, and in all things, honor your father with patience,
10. so that a blessing may come to you from him, and so that his blessing may remain to the very end.
11. The blessing of the father strengthens the houses of the sons; but the curse of the mother uproots even its foundation.
