Sirach 3:14DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 14 of 34

"Son, support the old age of thy father, and grieve him not in his life;"
Sirach 3:14

In context

12Glory not in the dishonour of thy father: for his shame is no glory to thee.

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

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

15And 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.

16For good shall be repaid to thee for the sin of thy mother.
