Ben Sira 22:4

Listen to Ben Sira 22:4
4 A sensible daughter obtains her husband, but one who acts shamefully brings grief to her father.

Ben Sira 22:4 In-Context

2 The indolent may be compared to the filth of dunghills; any one that picks it up will shake it off his hand.
3 It is a disgrace to be the father of an undisciplined son, and the birth of a daughter is a loss.
4 A sensible daughter obtains her husband, but one who acts shamefully brings grief to her father.
5 An impudent daughter disgraces father and husband, and will be despised by both.
6 Like music in mourning is a tale told at the wrong time, but chastising and discipline are wisdom at all times.
