Sirach 42:11-13
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
11 Keep strict watch over a headstrong daughter,
or she may make you a laughing-stock to your enemies,
a byword in the city and the assembly of[a] the people,
and put you to shame in public gatherings.[b]
See that there is no lattice in her room,
no spot that overlooks the approaches to the house.[c]
12 Do not let her parade her beauty before any man,
or spend her time among married women;[d]
13 for from garments comes the moth,
and from a woman comes woman’s wickedness.
