Sirach 3

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 Hear me your father, O children, and do thereafter, that ye may be safe.

2 For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons.

3 Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins:

4 And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up treasure.

5 Whoso honoureth his father shall have joy of his own children; and when he maketh his prayer, he shall be heard.

6 He that honoureth his father shall have a long life; and he that is obedient unto the Lord shall be a comfort to his mother.

7 He that feareth the Lord will honour his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his masters.

8 Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them.

9 For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children; but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations.

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.

15 In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather.

16 He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer; and he that angereth his mother is cursed: of God.

17 My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved.

18 The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, and thou shalt find favour before the Lord.

19 Many are in high place, and of renown: but mysteries are revealed unto the meek.

20 For the power of the Lord is great, and he is honoured of the lowly.

21 Seek not out things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength.

22 But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence, for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret.

23 Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.

24 For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.

25 Without eyes thou shalt want light: profess not the knowledge therefore that thou hast not.

26 A stubborn heart shall fare evil at the last; and he that loveth danger shall perish therein.

27 An obstinate heart shall be laden with sorrows; and the wicked man shall heap sin upon sin.

28 In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy; for the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him.

29 The heart of the prudent will understand a parable; and an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man.

30 Water will quench a flaming fire; and alms maketh an atonement for sins.

31 And he that requiteth good turns is mindful of that which may come hereafter; and when he falleth, he shall find a stay.

New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA

1 Listen to me your father, O children; act accordingly, that you may be kept in safety.

2 For the Lord honors a father above his children, and he confirms a mother's right over her children.

3 Those who honor their father atone for sins,

4 and those who respect their mother are like those who lay up treasure.

5 Those who honor their father will have joy in their own children, and when they pray they will be heard.

6 Those who respect their father will have long life, and those who honor their mother obey the Lord;

7 they will serve their parents as their masters.

8 Honor your father by word and deed, that his blessing may come upon you.

9 For a father's blessing strengthens the houses of the children, but a mother's curse uproots their foundations.

10 Do not glorify yourself by dishonoring your father, for your father's dishonor is no glory to you.

11 The glory of one's father is one's own glory, and it is a disgrace for children not to respect their mother.

12 My child, help your father in his old age, and do not grieve him as long as he lives;

13 even if his mind fails, be patient with him; because you have all your faculties do not despise him.

14 For kindness to a father will not be forgotten, and will be credited to you against your sins;

15 in the day of your distress it will be remembered in your favor; like frost in fair weather, your sins will melt away.

16 Whoever forsakes a father is like a blasphemer, and whoever angers a mother is cursed by the Lord.

17 My child, perform your tasks with humility; then you will be loved by those whom God accepts.

18 The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself; so you will find favor in the sight of the Lord.

20 For great is the might of the Lord; but by the humble he is glorified.

21 Neither seek what is too difficult for you, nor investigate what is beyond your power.

22 Reflect upon what you have been commanded, for what is hidden is not your concern.

23 Do not meddle in matters that are beyond you, for more than you can understand has been shown you.

24 For their conceit has led many astray, and wrong opinion has impaired their judgment.

25 Without eyes there is no light; without knowledge there is no wisdom.

26 A stubborn mind will fare badly at the end, and whoever loves danger will perish in it.

27 A stubborn mind will be burdened by troubles, and the sinner adds sin to sins.

28 When calamity befalls the proud, there is no healing, for an evil plant has taken root in him.

29 The mind of the intelligent appreciates proverbs, and an attentive ear is the desire of the wise.

30 As water extinguishes a blazing fire, so almsgiving atones for sin.

31 Those who repay favors give thought to the future; when they fall they will find support.
