My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and thou shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:
Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
