Sirach 3:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁴ For kindness to a father will not be forgotten,
    and will be credited to you against your sins;
¹⁵ in the day of your distress it will be remembered in your favour;
    like frost in fair weather, your sins will melt away.
¹⁶ Whoever forsakes a father is like a blasphemer,
    and whoever angers a mother is cursed by the Lord.
