6Sure keeping is good, where an evil wife is; And locked up, where many hands are.
7Deliver all things in number and weight; And put all in writing that thou givest out, or receivest in.
— Sirach 42:8 —
9A daughter is a wakeful care to a father; And the care for her taketh away sleep: When she is young, lest she pass away the flower of her age; And being married, lest she should be hated:
10In her virginity, lest she should be defiled And gotten with child in her father’s house; And having a husband, lest she should misbehave herself; And when she is married, lest she should be barren.
