My son, listen to your father's instruction, and don't forsake your mother's teaching:
A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.
There is a generation that curses their father, and doesn't bless their mother.
*The eye that mocks at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother: the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall eat it.
My son, keep your father's mitzvah, and don't forsake your mother's teaching.
*'Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Shabbatot. I am the LORD your God.
*'You shall rise up before the gray head, and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.
For Moshe said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
Cursed be he who sets light by his father or his mother. All the people shall say, Amein.
