Sirach 3:10
King James VersionSource notes
“Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father’s dishonour is no glory unto thee.”
Context
7He that feareth the Lord will honour his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his masters.
8Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them.
9For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children; but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations.
10Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father’s dishonour is no glory unto thee.
11For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children.
12My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.
13And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength.
