Sirach 22:3-6

Common English Bible

³ An uneducated son is a disgrace
to a father,
    and a daughter’s birth is a liability.
⁴ A prudent daughter
will get a husband of her own,
    and a daughter in disgrace
    is a grief to her parents.
⁵ A disrespectful daughter
shames her father and her husband,
    and both will despise her.
⁶ Ill-timed talk is like party music
during mourning,
    but a whipping and discipline
    are wisdom at any time.^[a]
