...Children obey your parents;
this is the right thing to do because God has placed them in authority

commandments that ends with a promise. And this is the promise I that if
you honor your father and mother, yours will be a long life, full of blessing.

parents joy!
Proverbs 23:22-25
...Young man, obey your father
and your mother. Take to heart all their advise; keep in mid everything
they tell you. Every day and all night long their counsel will lead you

guide you into the new day, their advise is a beam of light directed into
the dark comers of your mind to warn you of danger and to give you
a good life.
