² For the Lord honors a father above his children,
    and he confirms a mother’s right over her children.
³ Those who honor their father atone for sins,
⁴     and those who respect their mother are like those who lay up treasure.
⁵ Those who honor their father will have joy in their own children,
    and when they pray they will be heard.
⁶ Those who respect their father will have long life,
    and those who honor^[a] their mother obey the Lord;
