| 9 | A daughter keeps her father secretly wakeful, and worry over her robs him of sleep; when she is young, lest she do not marry, or if married, lest she be hated; | Fathers & daughters. Sir.42.9-14 | Θυγάτηρ πατρὶ ἀπόκρυφος ἀγρυπνία, καὶ ἡ μέριμνα αὐτῆς ἀφιστᾷ ὕπνον· ἐν νεότητι αὐτῆς, μήποτε παρακμάσῃ, καὶ συνῳκηκυῖα, μήποτε μισηθῇ· |
| 10 | while a virgin, lest she be defiled or become pregnant in her father's house; or having a husband, lest she prove unfaithful, or, though married, lest she be barren. | ἐν παρθενίᾳ, μή ποτε βεβηλωθῇ καὶ ἐν τοῖς πατρικοῖς αὐτῆς ἔγκυος γένηται· μετὰ ἀνδρὸς οὖσα, μήποτε παραβῇ, καὶ συνῳκηκυῖα, μήποτε στειρωθῇ. | |
| 11 | Keep strict watch over a headstrong daughter, lest she make you a laughingstock to your enemies, a byword in the city and notorious among the people, and put you to shame before the great multitude. | ἐπὶ θυγατρὶ ἀδιατρέπτῳ στερέωσον φυλακήν, μή ποτε ποιήσῃ σε ἐπίχαρμα ἐχθροῖς, λαλιὰν ἐν πόλει καὶ ἔκκλητον λαοῦ, καὶ καταισχύνῃ σε ἐν πλήθει πολλῶν. | |
| 12 | Do not look upon any one for beauty, and do not sit in the midst of women; | παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ μὴ ἔμβλεπε ἐν κάλλει, καὶ ἐν μέσῳ γυναικῶν μὴ συνέδρευε· | |
| 13 | for from garments comes the moth, and from a woman comes woman's wickedness. | ἀπὸ γὰρ ἱματίων ἐκπορεύεται σὴς, καὶ ἀπὸ γυναικὸς πονηρία γυναικός. | |
| 14 | Better is the wickedness of a man than a woman who does good; and it is a woman who brings shame and disgrace. | κρείσσων πονηρία ἀνδρὸς ἢ ἀγαθοποιὸς γυνή, καὶ γυνὴ καταισχύνουσα εἰς ὀνειδισμόν. | |
