Sirach 3:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 For kindness to a father will not be forgotten
and will be credited to you against your sins;(A)
15 in the day of your distress it will be remembered in your favor;
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.(B)
