Sirach 33:24 CPDV

²²  For it is better if your children petition you, than if you look toward the hands of your children.

²³  In all your works, be pre-eminent.

²⁴  You should not allow a blemish upon your glory. On the day of the consummation of the days of your life, at the time of your passing, distribute your inheritance.

²⁵  Fodder and a rod and a burden are for a donkey; bread and discipline and work are for a servant.

²⁶  He works under discipline, and he seeks rest. Allow his hands to be idle, and he seeks liberty.
