Wisdom of Ben Sira 7:23-25
New Catholic Bible
23 Do you have sons? Discipline them,
and insist on their obedience[a] from their childhood.
24 Do you have daughters? Be concerned for their chastity,
and do not allow yourself to be over-indulgent toward them.
25 When you give your daughter in marriage, you have completed a great task,
but give her to a sensible man.
