In context
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.
— Sirach 3:14 —
15In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather.
16He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer; and he that angereth his mother is cursed: of God.
