Ben Sira 22:4

Listen to Ben Sira 22:4
4 A sensible daughter will get a husband, but a shameless daughter brings her father grief.

Ben Sira 22:4 In-Context

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.
6 Lecturing your children can sometimes be as out of place as singing to people in mourning, but a whipping is a wise choice of discipline at any time.
Scripture taken from the Good News Translation - Second Edition, Copyright 1992 by American Bible Society. Used by Permission.
