Ben Sira 30:8

8 A horse not broken becometh headstrong, and a child left to himself will be willful.

Ben Sira 30:8 In-Context

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.
10 Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow with him, and lest thou gnash thy teeth in the end.
