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
