Sirach 7:24-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

24 Do you have daughters? Be concerned for their chastity,[a]
    and do not show yourself too indulgent with them.[b](A)
25 Give a daughter in marriage, and you complete a great task,
    but give her to a sensible man.
26 Do you have a wife who pleases you?[c] Do not divorce her,
    but do not trust yourself to one whom you detest.
