Sirach 3:16-18
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
16 Whoever forsakes his father is like a blasphemer,
and whoever angers his mother is cursed by the Lord.
Humility
17 My son, perform your tasks in meekness;
then you will be loved by those whom God accepts.
18 The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself;
so you will find favor in the sight of the Lord.[a]
