Καὶ ἑτέροις δὲ ἐπιτιμῶν θρηνοῦσιν ὡς ἐγκαταλειφθεῖσι, ταῦτα λέγει τὰ ῥήματα· «Ἐρωτήσατέ με περὶ τῶν υἱῶν μου καὶ περὶ τῶν ἔργων τῶν χειρῶν μου ἐντείλασθέ μοι.» Ὃ δὲ λέγει τοιοῦτόν ἐστι· Τίς πατέρα ἀναμιμνῄσκει καὶ παρακαλεῖ ὥστε προνοῆσαι παιδός; ἢ τεχνίτην καὶ δημιουργὸν ὥστε μὴ ἀφεῖναι διαπεσεῖν τὸ ἔργον; Εἶτα ἐπ' ἀνθρώπων μὲν ἀρκεῖσθε τῇ φύσει καὶ τῇ τέχνῃ εἰς ἀπόδειξιν τῆς κηδεμονίας, ἐμὲ δὲ οἴεσθε χρῄζειν τοῦ παρακαλοῦντός με, ἵνα τῶν τέκνων τῶν ἐμῶν καὶ τῶν ἔργων ἀντιλήψωμαι;
