Sirach 22:3-5
Wycliffe Bible
3 The shame of a father is of a son unlearned; but a fond daughter shall be in decreasing of the honour of father and mother. [The confusion of the father is of the undisciplined son; forsooth a fool(ish) daughter in great diminishing shall be.]
4 A prudent daughter is heritage to her husband; for she that shameth her husband, is in despising [or in reproof] of (or by) the father.
5 A bold woman, that is, shameless, shameth the father and husband, and shall not be made less than unfaithful men; forsooth she shall not be honoured of (or by) ever either.
