Sirach 3:12 In-Context
10
Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father's dishonour is no glory unto thee.
11
For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children.
12
My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.
13
And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength.
14
For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten: and instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up.
