Ecclesiasticus 22:4

Ecclesiasticus 22:4 Context

²A slouthfull man is compared to the filth of a dunghill: euery man that takes it vp, will shake his hand. ³An euill nurtured sonne is the dishonour of his father that begate him: and a [foolish] daughter is borne to his losse. ⁴A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but shee that liueth dishonestly, is her fathers heauinesse. ⁵Shee that is bold, dishonoureth both her father and her husband, but they both shall despise her. ⁶A tale out of season [is as] musick in mourning: but stripes and correction of wisedome are neuer out of time.
