Sirach 7:24-26
Revised Standard Version
24 Do you have daughters? Be concerned for their chastity,[a]
and do not show yourself too indulgent with them.
25 Give a daughter in marriage; you will have finished a great task.
But give her to a man of understanding.
26 If you have a wife who pleases you,[b] do not cast her out;
but do not trust yourself to one whom you detest.
