Ben Sira 3:10-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Do not glory in your father’s disgrace,
for that is no glory to you!
11 A father’s glory is glory also for oneself;
they multiply sin who demean their mother.(A)
12 My son, be steadfast in honoring your father;
do not grieve him as long as he lives.(B)
13 Even if his mind fails, be considerate of him;
do not revile him because you are in your prime.
