Sirach 7:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ Hast thou children? instruct them, and bow down their neck from their childhood.

²⁶ Hast thou daughters? have a care of their body, and shew not thy countenance gay towards them.

²⁷ Marry thy daughter well, and thou shalt do a great work, and give her to a wise man.
