In context
11For the glory of a man is from the honor of his father; And a mother in dishonor is a reproach to the children.
12My son, help thy father in his age, And grieve him not as long as he liveth.
— Sirach 3:13 —
14For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten: And instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up.
15In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; Thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather.
