1 Be not jealous over the wife of thy bosom, and teach her not an evil lesson against thyself.

Ben Sira 9:1 In-Context

1 Be not jealous over the wife of thy bosom, and teach her not an evil lesson against thyself.
2 Give not thy soul unto a woman to set her foot upon thy substance.
3 Meet not with a harlot, lest thou fall into her snares.
4 Use not much the company of a woman who is a singer, lest thou be taken with her attempts.
5 Gaze not on a maid, that thou fall not by those things that are precious in her.
