Wisdom of Ben Sira 42:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 Do not allow her to parade her beauty before any man
or spend her time with married women;
13 for just as out of clothes comes the moth
so from a woman comes woman’s wickedness.
14 Better is the wickedness of a man than a woman’s goodness,
but better is a religious daughter than a son without shame.
