VERSE 15
   To smite either father or mother, in a manner which indicated
  either contempt or malice, or left marks of violence, was
  deemed a proof of so ungrateful and unnatural a disposition,
  that no provocation was admitted as an excuse, but the
  offence was made capital:  nay, he who cursed his father or
  mother, who uttered imprecations, ill wishes, or revilings,
  against a parent, was included in the same sense; though few
  crimes were made capital by the law of Moses.  The law of
  God, as delegated to parents is honored when they are
  honored, and despised when they are despised:  and to rebel
  against the lawful exercise of this authority is rebellion
  against God.--Rev. T. Scott

  justice still regulate their decisions in such cases by this
  Mosaic precept.
