Sirach 30:13LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 13 of 27
"Instruct thy son, and labour about him, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence to thee."
In context
11Give him not liberty in his youth, and wink not at his devices.
12Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat his sides while he is a child, lest he grow stubborn, and regard thee not, and so be a sorrow of heart to thee.
13Instruct thy son, and labour about him, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence to thee.
14Better is a poor man who is sound, and strong of constitution, than a rich man who is weak and afflicted with evils.
15Health of the soul in holiness of justice, is better then all gold and silver: and a sound body, than immense revenues.
