Sirach 22:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ A girl with no sense of propriety will disgrace both her husband and her father; neither will have any respect for her.

⁶ Lecturing your children can sometimes be as out of place as singing to people in mourning, but a whipping is a wise choice of discipline at any time.

⁷ Trying to teach a fool is like gluing a broken pot back together, like waking someone out of a deep sleep.
