Sirach 3:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Honor your father in action and word
    so that a blessing will come
    from him to you,
⁹ since a father’s blessing
supports his children’s families,
    but a mother’s curse
    undermines their foundations.
¹⁰ Don’t glorify yourself
in your father’s disgrace,
    because your father’s disgrace
    brings you no credit.
