Ben Sira 22:10

Listen to Ben Sira 22:10
10 But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred.

Ben Sira 22:10 In-Context

8 He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slumber; when he hath told his tale, he will say, "What is the matter?"
9 If children live honestly and have wherewithal, they shall cover the baseness of their parents.
10 But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred.
11 Weep for the dead, for he hath lost the light; and weep for the fool, for he wanteth in understanding; make little weeping for the dead, for he is at rest; but the life of the fool is worse than death.
12 Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead; but for a fool and an ungodly man, all the days of his life.
