Ben Sira 7:23

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

Ben Sira 7:23 In-Context

21 Show the same love to wise servants that you would show to yourself, and let them have their freedom.
22 Take good care of any animals you own. If they make money for you, keep them.
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.
