Sirach 30:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ But anyone who spoils his son will have to bandage his wounds.^[a] His heart will stop every time he hears a shout. ⁸ An untamed horse is going to be stubborn, and an undisciplined son is no different. ⁹ If you pamper your child and play with him, he will be a disappointment and a source of grief.
