Sirach 4:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ In judging be merciful to the fatherless as a father, and as a husband to their mother.

¹¹ And thou shalt be as the obedient son of the most High, and he will have mercy on thee more than a mother.

¹² Wisdom inspireth life into her children, and protecteth them that seek after her, and will go before them in the way of justice.
