Sirach 30:3-7 World English Bible (WEB)

3. He that teaches his son shall provoke his enemy to jealousy; And before friends he shall rejoice of him.

4. His father dieth, and is as though he had not died; For he has left one behind him like himself.

5. In his life, he saw and rejoiced in him; And when he died, he sorrowed not:

6. He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, And one to requite kindness to his friends.

7. He that makes too much of his son shall bind up his wounds; And his heart will be troubled at every cry.
