Ecclesiasticus 30:6

Ecclesiasticus 30:6 Context

³He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy: and before his friends he shall rejoice of him. ⁴Though his father die, yet he is as though he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself. ⁵While he lived, he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died, he was not sorrowful. ⁶He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one that shall requite kindness to his friends. ⁷He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds; and his bowels will be troubled at every cry. ⁸An horse not broken becometh headstrong: and a child left to himself will be wilful. ⁹Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he will bring thee to heaviness.
