Sirach 3:1-6 World English Bible (WEB)

1. Hear me your father, O my children, And do thereafter, that you⌃ may be saved.

2. For the Lord has given the father glory as touching the children, And has confirmed the judgement of the mother as touching the sons.

3. He that honors his father shall make atonement for sins:

4. And he that gives glory to his mother is as one that lays up treasure.

5. Whoso honors his father shall have joy of his children; And in the day of his prayer he shall be heard.

6. He that gives glory to his father shall have length of days; And he that hearkens to the Lord shall bring rest to his mother,
