Sirach 3:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ The father's blessing establisheth the houses of the children: but the mother's curse rooteth up the foundation.

¹² Glory not in the dishonour of thy father: for his shame is no glory to thee.

¹³ For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father, and a father without honour is the disgrace of the son.
