Book Of Sirach Chapter 3

Book Of Sirach Chapter 3. 1 children, listen to me for i am your father: Act accordingly, that you may be kept in safety.

And seeking the judgment of the mothers, hath confirmed it upon the children. 4 as you have used us to show them your holiness, *. 17 and in justice thou shalt be built up, and in the day of affliction thou shalt be remembered:

3 at noon it scorches the earth, and who can bear its fiery heat?

However, many historians believe it was excluded for political reasons. 2 for the lord honours the father above his children and upholds the rights of a mother over her sons. 3:1 the sons of wisdom are the church of the just: 5 whoever honors his father will be gladdened by his own children, and when he prays he will be heard.
