Listen to your father, this one fathered you, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
My son, hear your father’s instruction, and do not forsake the law of your mother;
A wise son makes a glad father, but a man who is a fool despises his mother.
There is a generation that curses its father, and does not bless its mother,
The eye that mocks its father and despises to obey its mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the sons of the eagle shall eat it.
My son, keep your father’s commands, and do not forsake the law of your mother.
Each man of you shall revere his mother and his father, and keep My sabbaths; I am Jehovah your God.
You shall rise up in the face of gray hair; and you shall honor the face of an old man; and be afraid of your God. I am Jehovah.
For Moses said, “Honor your father and your mother,” Ex. 20:12; Deut. 5:16 and, “The one speaking evil of father or mother, let him end by death.” Ex. 21:17
Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother! And all the people shall say, Amen!
