Ben Sira 30:7

7 He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds, and his conscience will be troubled at every cry.

Ben Sira 30:7 In-Context

5 While he lived, he saw and rejoiced in him; and when he died, he was not sorrowful.
6 He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one that shall requite kindness to his friends.
7 He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds, and his conscience will be troubled at every cry.
8 A horse not broken becometh headstrong, and a child left to himself will be willful.
9 Pamper thy child, and he shall make thee afraid; play with him, and he will bring thee to heaviness.
