Ben Sira 3:11

11 For the glory of a man is from the honor of his father, and a mother in dishonor is a reproach to the children.

Ben Sira 3:11 In-Context

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 dishonor of thy father, for thy father's dishonor is no glory unto thee.
11 For the glory of a man is from the honor of his father, and a mother in dishonor 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.
