Latin
13even if he is lacking in understanding, show forbearance;
in all your strength do not despise him.
14For kindness to a father will not be forgotten,
and against your sins it will be credited to you;
15in the day of your affliction it will be remembered in your favor;
as frost in fair weather, your sins will melt away.
