Ben Sira 26:10

Listen to Ben Sira 26:10
10 If your daughter is determined to have her own way, keep a close watch on her. If you don't, she'll take advantage of any chance she gets.

Ben Sira 26:10 In-Context

8 A drunken woman is an infuriating sight; she can't conceal her shameless behavior.
9 You can tell an unfaithful wife by the bold and flirting look in her eyes.
10 If your daughter is determined to have her own way, keep a close watch on her. If you don't, she'll take advantage of any chance she gets.
11 If she is too self-willed, be on guard, and don't be surprised if she disappoints you.
12 She'll spread her legs anywhere for any man who wants her, just as a thirsty traveler will drink whatever water is available.
