Ben Sira 22:3-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. An undisciplined child is a disgrace to its father;if it be a daughter, she brings him to poverty.

4. A thoughtful daughter obtains a husband of her own;a shameless one is her father’s grief.

5. A hussy shames her father and her husband;she is despised by both.

6. Like music at the time of mourning is ill-timed talk,but lashes and discipline are at all times wisdom.

9. Teaching a fool is like gluing a broken pot,or rousing another from deep sleep.
