Sirach 22:1-4 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. The lazy man is pelted with a dirty stone, and all will speak about his rejection.

2. The lazy man is pelted with the dung of oxen, and all who touch him will brush off their hands.

3. An undisciplined son is the shame of his father, but an undisciplined daughter will be to his degradation.

4. A prudent daughter brings an inheritance to her husband. But she who causes shame will be a disgrace to him who conceived her.
