Ben Sira 31:13

13 Remember that a wicked eye is an evil thing; and what is created more wicked than an eye? Therefore it weepeth upon every occasion.

Ben Sira 31:13 In-Context

11 His goods shall be established, and the congregation shall declare his almsgiving.
12 If thou sit at a bountiful table, be not greedy upon it, and say not, "There is much meat on it."
13 Remember that a wicked eye is an evil thing; and what is created more wicked than an eye? Therefore it weepeth upon every occasion.
14 Stretch not thine hand whithersoever it looketh, and thrust it not with him into the dish.
15 Judge of thy neighbor by thyself, and be discreet in every point.
