Parents: Children, pay heed to a father’s right;
do so that you may live.
[no idea]
All : For the Lord sets a father in honor
over his children;
a mother’s authority he confirms
over her sons.
[no idea]
Children: He who honors his father is
gladdened by children,
and when he prays he is heard.
[no idea]
All: He who reveres his father will live
a long life;
he obeys the Lord who brings
comfort to his mother
[no idea]
All: In word and deed honor your father
that his blessing may come upon
you;
[no idea]
All: For a father’s blessing gives a family
firm roots,
but a mother’s curse uproots the
growing plant.
[no idea]
Children: His father’s honor is a man’s glory;
disgrace for her children, a
mother’s shame.
[no idea]
Parents: My son, take care of your father
when he is old;
grieve him not as long as he
lives.
All: Even if his mind fail, be considerate
with him;
revile him not in the fullness of
your strength.
[no idea]
All: For kindness to a father will not be
forgotten,
it will serve as a sin offering – it
will take lasting root.
[no idea]
All: In time of tribulation it will be recalled
to your advantage,
like warmth upon frost it will
melt away your sins.
[no idea]
All: A blasphemer is he who despises his
father,
accursed of his Creator, he who
angers his mother.
[no idea]
The Training of Children (Sirach 30:1-13)
-c/o Ricky
All:He who loves his son chastises him often, that he may be his joy when he grows up.
He who disciplines his son will benefit from him, and boast of him among his intimates.
He who educates his son makes his enemy jealous, and shows his delight in him among his friends.
Parent: At the father’s death, he will seem not dead, since he leaves after him one like himself,
Children: Whom he looks upon through life with joy, and even in death, without regret;
All: The avenger he leaves against his foes, and the one to repay his friends with kindness.
Parent: He who spoils his son will have wounds to bandage, and will quake inwardly at every outcry.
Children: A colt untamed turns out stubborn; a son left to himself grows up unruly.
All: Pamper your child and he will be a terror for you, indulge him and he will bring you grief.
Share not in his frivolity lest you share in his sorrow, when finally your teeth are clenched in remorse.
Give him not his own way in his youth, and close not your eyes to his follies.
Bend him to the yoke when he is young, thrash his sides while he is still small,
Lest he become stubborn, disobey you, and leave you disconsolate.
Discipline your son, make heavy his yoke, lest his folly humiliate you.
