Ecclesiasticus 30:3 Context

¹He that loveth his son causeth him oft to feel the rod, that he may have joy of him in the end. ²He that chastiseth his son shall have joy in him, and shall rejoice of him among his acquaintance. ³He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy: and before his friends he shall rejoice of him. ⁴Though his father die, yet he is as though he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself. ⁵While he lived, he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died, he was not sorrowful. ⁶He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one that shall requite kindness to his friends.
