15. And if his mind should fail, show kindness; and do not spurn him when you are in your strength. For almsgiving to the father will never be forgotten.
16. For even in return for the sin of the mother, good will be repaid to you.
17. And you will be built up in justice, and you will be remembered in the day of tribulation. And your sins will dissolve like ice in warm weather.
18. What an evil form has he who forsakes his father! And whoever exasperates his mother is accursed by God.
