Honor your father and your mother, that you may have a long life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and reject not your mother’s teaching;
The eye that mocks a father, or scorns the homage due a mother, Will be plucked out by brook ravens; devoured by a brood of vultures.
Each of you revere your mother and father, and keep my sabbaths. I, the Lord, am your God.
Children, obey your parents [in the Lord], for this is right.
“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on earth.”
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
