Listen to your father who begot you and do not despise your mother when she is old.
Proverbs 23:22 TLV
This proverb points to two important principles about honoring your parents. Of course, you should listen to both of your parents and despise neither of them when they are old, but especially honor your father by listening to his advice and obeying him when you are young, and especially honor your mother by caring for her when she is old. There is no greater shame than a wealthy man whose mother is destitute and alone.

OR, and this is a possibility, should we still obey them even when they break Torah, but we are forgiven because of our obedience to this commandment?
