Sirach 23:5

5 turn desire away from me.

Sirach 23:5 In-Context

3 Otherwise, my acts of ignorance might multiply, and my sins might increase, and I'll fall before my adversaries, and my enemy will rejoice over me.
4 Lord, Father, God of my life, don't let me have prideful eyes
5 turn desire away from me.
6 Don't allow gluttony or sexual desire to overtake me, and don't hand me over to a shameless spirit.
7 Listen, my children, to instruction about your mouth; whoever follows my instruction will never succumb to it.
