Sirach 22:4-7 World English Bible (WEB)

4. A prudent daughter shall inherit a husband of her own; And she that brings shame is the grief of her father.

5. She that is bold brings shame upon father and husband; And she shall be despised of them both.

6. Unseasonable discourse is as music in mourning; But stripes and correction are wisdom at every season.

7. He that teaches a fool is as one that glues a potsherd together; Even as one that wakes a sleeper out of a deep sleep.
