Wisdom of Ben Sira 9:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Do not let your gaze stray through the streets of a city,
    or wander around its deserted areas.
⁸ Turn away your eyes from a comely woman,
    and do not stare at the beauty of another’s wife.
Many have been destroyed as a result of a woman’s beauty,
    which causes passion to flare up like a fire.
⁹ Never dine with a married woman,
    or join her to drink some wine,
lest you allow your heart to succumb to her
    and in your passion plunge to your destruction.
