Ben Sira 3:12

12 My child, take care of your father when he grows old; give him no cause for worry as long as he lives.

Ben Sira 3:12 In-Context

10 Never seek honor for yourself at your father's expense; it is not to your credit if he is dishonored.

11 Your own honor comes from the respect that you show to your father. If children do not honor their mothers, it is their own disgrace.

12 My child, take care of your father when he grows old; give him no cause for worry as long as he lives.

13 Be sympathetic even if his mind fails him; don't look down on him just because you are strong and healthy.

14 The Lord will not forget the kindness you show to your father; it will help you make up for your sins.
