Ecclesiasticus 30 — Chapter 30

Ecclesiasticus · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1He that loves his son causeth him oft to feel the rod, that he may have joy of him in the end.

2He that chastiseth his son shall have joy in him, and shall rejoice of him among his acquaintance.

3He that teaches his son grieves 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 has 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.
