Wisdom of Ben Sira 22:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 A brazen daughter brings shame upon her father and her husband
and is despised by both.
6 Inopportune conversation is like music in a time of mourning,
but thrashings and correction are wisdom at all times.
[7 [a]Children whose upbringing leads to a good life
make one forget the humble origin of their parents.
