A fool despiseth his father’s instruction:
But he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

A wise son maketh a glad father:
But a foolish man despiseth his mother.

Whoso curseth his father or his mother,
His lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

The eye that mocketh at his father,
And despiseth to obey his mother,
The ravens of the valley shall pick it out,
And the young eagles shall eat it.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
