Ben Sira 9:8

8 When you see a good-looking woman, look the other way; don't let your mind dwell on the beauty of any woman who is not your wife. Many men have been led astray by a woman's beauty. It kindles passion as if it were fire.

Ben Sira 9:8 In-Context

6 Don't give yourself to prostitutes, or you may lose everything you own.

7 So don't go looking about in the streets or wandering around in the run-down parts of town.

8 When you see a good-looking woman, look the other way; don't let your mind dwell on the beauty of any woman who is not your wife. Many men have been led astray by a woman's beauty. It kindles passion as if it were fire.

9 Don't sit down to eat with another man's wife or join her for a drink. You may give in to the temptation of her charms and be destroyed by your passion.

10 Never abandon old friends; you will never find a new one who can take their place. Friendship is like wine; it gets better as it grows older.
