Ulangan 5:16

5:16 Honor ¹  your father and your mother just as the Lord your God has commanded you to do, so that your days may be extended and that it may go well with you in the land that he ²  is about to give you.

Mikha 7:6

7:6 For a son thinks his father is a fool,

a daughter challenges ³  her mother,

and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law;

a man’s enemies are his own servants. ⁴ 

¹ tn The imperative here means, literally, “regard as heavy” (כַּבֵּד, kabbed). The meaning is that great importance must be ascribed to parents by their children.

² tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “He” in 5:3.

³ tn Heb “rises up against.”

⁴ tn Heb “the enemies of a man are the men of his house.”
