Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

I have overthrown {some} of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected {us}, and we gave {them} reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. {revolt...: Heb. increase revolt}

O LORD, {are} not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, {but} they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

In thy filthiness {is} lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

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

Foolishness {is} bound in the heart of a child; {but} the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself {thus}; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed {to the yoke}: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou {art} the LORD my God.

Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, {It is} no transgression; the same {is} the companion of a destroyer. {a destroyer: Heb. a man destroying}

{There is} a generation {that} curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

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

For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

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. {the valley: or, the brook}

My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. {instruction: or, correction} {heareth: or, obeyeth} {getteth...: Heb. possesseth an heart}

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Children, obey {your} parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

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