12
Woe be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner that goeth two ways!
13
Woe unto him that is fainthearted! for he believeth not; therefore shall he not be defended.
14
Woe unto you that have lost patience! and what will ye do when the Lord shall visit you?
15
They that fear the Lord will not disobey his Word; and they that love him will keep his ways.
16
They that fear the Lord will seek that which is well, pleasing unto him; and they that love
him shall be filled with the law.
17
They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and humble their souls in his sight,
18
Saying, We will fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men: for as his
majesty is, so is his mercy.
CHAPTER 3
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 father'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.
