In context
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.
— Sirach 3:16 —
17My son, go on with thy business in meekness; So shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved.
18The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, And thou shalt find favor before the Lord.
