6 For he left behind him a defender of his house against his enemies, and one that will requite kindness to his friends.

Ben Sira 30:6 In-Context

4 His father is dead, and he is as if he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself.

5 While he lived he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died he was not sorrowful, neither was he confounded before his enemies.

6 For he left behind him a defender of his house against his enemies, and one that will requite kindness to his friends.

7 For the souls of his sons he shall bind up his wounds, and at every cry his bowels shall be troubled.

8 horse not broken becometh stubborn, and a child left to himself will become headstrong.
