Ecclesiasticus 3:10

Ecclesiasticus 3:10 Context

⁷He that feareth the Lord will honour his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his masters. ⁸Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them. ⁹For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children; but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations. ¹⁰Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father's dishonour is no glory unto thee. ¹¹For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children. ¹²My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth. ¹³And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength.
