Sirach 3:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father, and a father without honour is the disgrace of the son.

¹⁴ Son, support the old age of thy father, and grieve him not in his life;

¹⁵ And if his understanding fail, have patience with him, and despise him not when thou art in thy strength: for the relieving of the father shall not be forgotten.
