Ben Sira 30:7

7 He who spoils his son will bind up his wounds, and his feelings will be troubled at every cry.

Ben Sira 30:7 In-Context

5 while alive he saw and rejoiced, and when he died he was not grieved;

6 he has left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one to repay the kindness of his friends.

7 He who spoils his son will bind up his wounds, and his feelings will be troubled at every cry.

8 A horse that is untamed turns out to be stubborn, and a son unrestrained turns out to be wilful.

9 Pamper a child, and he will frighten you; play with him, and he will give you grief.
