Sirach 3:13-15

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ even if he is lacking in understanding, show forbearance;
    in all your strength do not despise him.
¹⁴ For kindness to a father will not be forgotten,
    and against your sins it will be credited to you;
¹⁵ in the day of your affliction it will be remembered in your favor;
    as frost in fair weather, your sins will melt away.
