Ben Sira 9:2 In-Context

1 Don't be jealous of the wife you love. You will only be teaching her how to do you harm.
2 Do not surrender your dignity to any woman.
3 Keep away from other men's wives or they will trap you.
4 Don't keep company with female musicians; they will trick you.
5 Don't look too intently at a virgin, or you may find yourself forced to pay a bride price.
