Sirach 23:4

4 Lord, Father, God of my life, don't let me have prideful eyes

Sirach 23:4 In-Context

2 Who will station whips to keep my thoughts in line and set the discipline of wisdom over my heart, so that I might not be spared my faults due to ignorance and my sins not go unnoticed?
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.
