Sirach 42:11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

11 Keep strict watch over a headstrong daughter,
    or she may make you a laughingstock to your enemies,
a byword in the city and the assembly of[a] the people,
    and put you to shame in public gatherings.[b]
See that there is no lattice in her room,
    no spot that overlooks the approaches to the house.[c](A)
