2 For the Lord honors a father above his children,

and he confirms a mother’s right over her children.

3 Those who honor their father atone for sins,

4 and those who respect their mother are like those who lay up treasure.

5 Those who honor their father will have joy in their own children,

and when they pray they will be heard.

6 Those who respect their father will have long life,

and those who honora their mother obey the Lord;
