Sirach 42:8-10

Common English Bible

⁹ A daughter is a hidden source
of sleeplessness for her father,
    and anxiety about her deprives him
    of sleep:
    in her youth, that she doesn’t pass
    her prime,
    and when she’s married,
    that she not be hated;
¹⁰     while she’s a virgin,
    that she not be seduced
    and become pregnant
    while still living at home;
    when she’s married,
    that she not go straying;
    or having married,
    that she not be infertile.
