Ben Sira 42:11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

My son, keep a close watch on your daughter,lest she make you a laughingstock for your enemies,A byword in the city and the assembly of the people,an object of derision in public gatherings.See that there is no lattice in her room,or spot that overlooks the approaches to the house.
