Ben Sira 22:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 An undisciplined child is a disgrace to its father;
if it be a daughter, she brings him to poverty.(A)
4 A thoughtful daughter obtains a husband of her own;
a shameless one is her father’s grief.
5 A hussy shames her father and her husband;
she is despised by both.
