Wisdom of Ben Sira 22:3-5
New Catholic Bible
Parents and Children
3 It is a disgrace to be the father of an unruly son,
but the birth of a daughter is a loss.
4 A sensible daughter will find a husband,
but one who acts shamefully is the source of grief to her father.
5 A brazen daughter brings shame upon her father and her husband
and is despised by both.
