III. The Duties of Family Members
For the Lord honored the
father above the children, and he confirmed the right of the mother over her
sons. Whoever honors his father atones for sins, and whoever glorifies his
mother is like one who lays up treasure. Whoever honors his father will be
gladdened by his own children, and when he prays he will be heard. Whoever
glorifies his father will have long life, and whoever obeys the Lord will
refresh his mother.24
O son, help your father in his old age, and do not grieve him as long as he
lives; even if he is lacking in understanding, show forbearance; in all your
strength do not despise him…. Whoever forsakes his father is like a
blasphemer, and whoever angers his mother is cursed by the Lord.25
