Ben Sira 3:14

14 Son, support the old age of thy father, and grieve him not in his life;

Ben Sira 3:14 In-Context

12 Glory not in the dishonour of thy father: for his shame is no glory to thee.
13 For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father, and a father without honour is the disgrace of the son.
14 Son, support the old age of thy father, and grieve him not in his life;
15 And if his understanding fail, have patience with him, and despise him not when thou art in thy strength: for the relieving of the father shall not be for- gotten.
16 For good shall be repaid to thee for the sin of thy mother.
