12. My child, take care of your father when he grows old; give him no cause for worry as long as he lives.
13. Be sympathetic even if his mind fails him; don't look down on him just because you are strong and healthy.
14. The Lord will not forget the kindness you show to your father; it will help you to make up for your sins.
15. When you are in trouble, the Lord will remember your kindness and will help you; your sins will melt away like frost in warm sunshine.
