11. For the glory of a man is from the honor of his father; And a mother in dishonor is a reproach to her children.
12. My son, help your father in his old age; And grieve him not as long as he lives.
13. And if he fails in understanding, have patience with him; And dishonor him not while you are in your full strength.
14. For the relieving of your father shall not be forgotten: And instead of sins it shall be added to build you up.
15. In the day of your affliction it shall remember you; As fair weather upon ice, So shall your sins also melt away.
16. He that forsakes his father is as a blasphemer; And he that provoketh his mother is cursed of the Lord.
17. My son, go on with your business in meekness; So shall you be beloved of an acceptable man.
18. The greater you are, humble yourself the more, And you shall find favor before the Lord.
20. For great is the potency of the Lord, And he is glorified of them that are lowly.
21. Seek not things that are too hard for you, And search not out things that are above your strength.
22. The things that have been commanded you, think thereupon; For you have no need of the things that are secret.
