2  For athe Lord hath given the father honour over the children,

And hath confirmed the * authority of the mother over the sons.

3  Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins:

4  And he that honoureth his mother is as one that blayeth up treasure.

5  Whoso honoureth his father shall have joy of his own children;

And when he maketh his prayer, he shall be heard.

6  He that honoureth his father ashall have a long life;

And he that is obedient unto the Lord shall cbe a comfort to his mother.
