Ecclesiasticus 3:7-12 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

7. He that honoureth his father shall enjoy a long life: and he that obeyeth the father, shall be a comfort to his mother.

8. He that feareth the Lord, honoureth his parents, and will serve them as his masters that brought him into the world.

9. Honour thy father, in work and word, and all patience,

10. That a blessing may come upon thee from him, and his blessing may remain in the latter end.

11. The father's blessing establisheth the houses of the children: but the mother's curse rooteth up the foundation.

12. Glory not in the dishonour of thy father: for his shame is no glory to thee.
