1 Lazy people are no better than dung; they are repulsive, and no one wants to get near them.

Ben Sira 22:1 In-Context

1 Lazy people are no better than dung; they are repulsive, and no one wants to get near them.

3 It is a disgrace to a father to have an undisciplined child, especially if it is a daughter.

4 A sensible daughter will get a husband, but a shameless daughter brings her father grief.

5 A girl with no sense of propriety will disgrace both her husband and her father; neither will have any respect for her.
