apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:1 @ Hear me your father, O children, and do thereafter, that ye may be safe.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:2 @ For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:3 @ Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins:

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:4 @ And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up treasure.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:5 @ Whoso honoureth his father shall have joy of his own children; and when he maketh his prayer, he shall be heard.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:6 @ He that honoureth his father shall have a long life; and he that is obedient unto the Lord shall be a comfort to his mother.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:7 @ He that feareth the Lord will honour his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his masters.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:8 @ Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:9 @ For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children; but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:10 @ Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father's dishonour is no glory unto thee.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:11 @ For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:12 @ My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:13 @ And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:14 @ For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten: and instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:15 @ In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:16 @ He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer; and he that angereth his mother is cursed: of God.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:17 @ My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:18 @ The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, and thou shalt find favour before the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:19 @ Many are in high place, and of renown: but mysteries are revealed unto the meek.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:20 @ For the power of the Lord is great, and he is honoured of the lowly.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:21 @ Seek not out things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:22 @ But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence, for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:23 @ Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:24 @ For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:25 @ Without eyes thou shalt want light: profess not the knowledge therefore that thou hast not.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:26 @ A stubborn heart shall fare evil at the last; and he that loveth danger shall perish therein.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:27 @ An obstinate heart shall be laden with sorrows; and the wicked man shall heap sin upon sin.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:28 @ In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy; for the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:29 @ The heart of the prudent will understand a parable; and an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:30 @ Water will quench a flaming fire; and alms maketh an atonement for sins.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:3:31 @ And he that requiteth good turns is mindful of that which may come hereafter; and when he falleth, he shall find a stay.
