²⁰ My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

¹⁸ If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, that will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not hearken unto them;

¹⁶ Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.

⁸ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁹ For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, And chains about thy neck.

¹ My son, keep my words, And lay up my commandments with thee.

² Keep my commandments and live; And my law as the apple of thine eye.

³ Bind them upon thy fingers; Write them upon the tablet of thy heart.

⁴ Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; And call understanding `thy' kinswoman:

²² Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.

¹¹ There is a generation that curse their father, And bless not their mother.
