Sirach 30:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ Give him not liberty in his youth, and wink not at his devices.

¹² Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat his sides while he is a child, lest he grow stubborn, and regard thee not, and so be a sorrow of heart to thee.

¹³ Instruct thy son, and labour about him, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence to thee.
