1
Hear me your father O children and do thereafter that ye may be safe
⚑
2
For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons
⚑
3
Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins
⚑
4
And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up treasure
⚑
5
Whoso honoureth his father shall have joy of his own children and when he maketh his prayer he shall be heard
⚑
6
He that honoureth his father shall have a long life and he that is obedient unto the Lord shall be a comfort to his mother
⚑
7
He that feareth the Lord will honour his father and will do service unto his parents as to his masters
⚑
8
Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed that a blessing may come upon thee from them
⚑
9
For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations
⚑
10
Glory not in the dishonour of thy father for thy ather’s dishonour is no glory unto thee
⚑
11
For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children
⚑
12
My son help thy father in his age and grieve him not as long as he liveth
⚑
13
And if his understanding fail have patience with him and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength
⚑
14
For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten and instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up
⚑
15
In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered thy sins also shall melt away as the ice in the fair warm weather
⚑
16
He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer and he that angereth his mother is cursed of God
⚑
17
My son go on with thy business in meekness so shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved
⚑
18
The greater thou art the more humble thyself and thou shalt find favour before the Lord
⚑
19
Many are in high place and of renown but mysteries are revealed unto the meek
⚑
20
For the power of the Lord is great and he is honoured of the lowly
⚑
21
Seek not out things that are too hard for thee neither search the things that are above thy strength
⚑
22
But what is commanded thee think thereupon with reverence for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret
⚑
23
Be not curious in unnecessary matters for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand
⚑
24
For many are deceived by their own vain opinion and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment
⚑
25
Without eyes thou shalt want light profess not the knowledge therefore that thou hast not
⚑
26
A stubborn heart shall fare evil at the last and he that loveth danger shall perish therein
⚑
27
An obstinate heart shall be laden with sorrows and the wicked man shall heap sin upon sin
⚑
28
In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy for the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him
⚑
29
The heart of the prudent will understand a parable and an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man
⚑
30
Water will quench a flaming fire and alms maketh an atonement for sins
⚑
31
And he that requiteth good turns is mindful of that which may come hereafter and when he falleth he shall find a stay
