Ecclesiasticus 3:9

Ecclesiasticus 3:9 Context

⁶He that honoureth his father shall have a long life; and he that is obedient unto the Lord shall be a comfort to his mother. ⁷He that feareth the Lord will honour his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his masters. ⁸Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them. ⁹For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children; but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations. ¹⁰Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father's dishonour is no glory unto thee. ¹¹For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children. ¹²My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.
