Sirach 42:11

11 Keep strict watch over a headstrong daughter,

or she may make you a laughingstock to your enemies,

a byword in the city and the assembly ofa 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
