8 Bible Verses about Dishonouring Parents

Hear, my son, your father’s instruction
And do not forsake your mother’s teaching;

My son, observe the commandment of your father
And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;

My son, keep my words
And treasure my commandments within you.

Listen to your father who begot you,
And do not despise your mother when she is old.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

They shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey us, he is a glutton and a drunkard.’

‘Cursed is he who dishonors his father or mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.

There is a kind of man who curses his father
And does not bless his mother.

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

For son treats father contemptuously,
Daughter rises up against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.
