Ben Sira 23:4 In-Context

2 Who will set whips over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over my mind, so as not to spare me in my errors, and not overlook my sins?
3 Otherwise my mistakes may be multiplied, and my sins may abound, and I may fall before my adversaries, and my enemy may rejoice over me.
4 O Lord, Father and God of my life, do not give me haughty eyes
5 and remove evil desire from me.
6 Let neither gluttony nor lust overcome me, and do not give me over to shameless passion.
