Sirach 3:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Children, hear the judgment of your father, and so do that you may be saved.

³ For God hath made the father honourable to the children: and seeking the judgment of the mothers, hath confirmed it upon the children.

⁴ He that loveth God, shall obtain pardon for his sins by prayer, and shall refrain himself from them, and shall be heard in the prayer of days.
