Ben Sira 26:9

9 The haughty stare betrays an unchaste wife; her eyelids give her away.

Ben Sira 26:9 In-Context

7 A bad wife is a chafing yoke; taking hold of her is like grasping a scorpion.

8 A drunken wife arouses great anger; she cannot hide her shame.

9 The haughty stare betrays an unchaste wife; her eyelids give her away.

10 Keep strict watch over a headstrong daughter, or else, when she finds liberty, she will make use of it.

11 Be on guard against her impudent eye, and do not be surprised if she sins against you.
