Sirach 3:14

14 Taking care of one's father won't be forgotten. It will be credited to you against your sins.

Sirach 3:14 In-Context

12 My child, help your father in his old age, and don't give him grief during his life.
13 And if his understanding fails, be tolerant, and don't shame him, because you have all your faculties.
14 Taking care of one's father won't be forgotten. It will be credited to you against your sins.
15 When you are in trouble, this will be recalled about you; like frost warmed by sunshine, so your sins will melt away.
16 Those who abandon their fathers are like blasphemers, and those who anger their mothers have been cursed by the Lord.
