Ben Sira 30:20

20 he sees with his eyes and groans as a eunuch groans when embracing a girl.

Ben Sira 30:20 In-Context

18 Good things poured out upon a mouth that is closed are like offerings of food placed upon a grave.

19 Of what use to an idol is a sacrifice? For it can neither eat nor smell. So is the one punished by the Lord;

20 he sees with his eyes and groans as a eunuch groans when embracing a girl.

21 Do not give yourself over to sorrow, and do not distress yourself deliberately.

22 A joyful heart is life itself, and rejoicing lengthens one's life span.
