Hearken unto thy father that begat thee,\par\tab And despise not thy mother when she is old.
The eye that mocketh at his father,\par\tab And despiseth to obey his mother,\par\tab The ravens of the valley shall pick it out,\par\tab And the young eagles shall eat it.\par
My son, hear the instruction of thy father,\par\tab And forsake not the law of thy mother:
My son, keep the commandment of thy father,\par\tab And forsake not the law of thy mother:
Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I am Jehovah your God.
For Moses said, {\b Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death}:
There is a generation that curse their father,\par\tab And bless not their mother.
Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.
A wise son maketh a glad father;\par\tab But a foolish man despiseth his mother.
