Sirach 3:12-14

Wycliffe Bible

¹² Son, receive the eld (age) of thy father, and make thou not him sorry in his life; [Son, meekly take the last age of thy father, and not sorrow thou him in his life;]

¹³ and if he faileth in wit, give thou forgiveness, and despise thou not him in thy virtue (or in thy strength);

¹⁴ for why the alms-(deeds) of (or for) the father shall not be (in) forgetting (or forgotten). For why good shall be restored to thee for the sin of the mother, and building (up) shall be made to thee in rightfulness; [forsooth the alms-deed of the father shall not be in forgetting. For why for the sin of the mother shall be restored to thee good, and in rightwiseness it shall be built up to thee;]
