Sirach 7:28 CPDV

²⁶  Are daughters yours? Watch over their bodies. And you should not display a light-hearted attitude toward them.

²⁷  Give your daughter in marriage, and give her to an understanding man, and you will be doing a great work.

²⁸  If a wife in accord with your soul is yours, you should not reject her. But do not entrust yourself to her who is hateful.

²⁹  With your whole heart, honor your father. And you should not forget the complaints of your mother.

³⁰  Remember that you would not have been born except through them. And so, give back to them as they also have done for you.
