Sirach 30:13

13 Educate your children, and work on them, so that you don't end up offended by their shameful behavior.

Sirach 30:13 In-Context

11 Don't give them free rein in their youth.
12 Bruise their sides while they are still young, or else they will become stubborn and disobey you.
13 Educate your children, and work on them, so that you don't end up offended by their shameful behavior.
14 It is better to be poor, but healthy and strong, than a rich person whose body is afflicted.
15 Being healthy and fit is better than any gold, and a strong spirit is better than untold riches.
