Ben Sira 7:25

25 When you give your daughter in marriage, you have finished a great task, but give her to a sensible man.

Ben Sira 7:25 In-Context

23 If you have sons, educate them. Teach them self-discipline while they are young.

24 If you have daughters, keep them virtuous, and don't be too indulgent with them.

25 When you give your daughter in marriage, you have finished a great task, but give her to a sensible man.

26 If you have a good wife, do not divorce her, but do not trust yourself to someone you don't love.

27 Honor your father with all your heart, and never forget how your mother suffered when you were born.
