Ben Sira 42:13

13 for from garments comes the moth, and from a woman comes woman's wickedness.

Ben Sira 42:13 In-Context

11 Keep strict watch over a headstrong daughter, or she may make you a laughingstock to your enemies, a byword in the city and the assembly of the people, and put you to shame in public gatherings. See that there is no lattice in her room, no spot that overlooks the approaches to the house.

12 Do not let her parade her beauty before any man, or spend her time among married women;

13 for from garments comes the moth, and from a woman comes woman's wickedness.

14 Better is the wickedness of a man than a woman who does good; it is woman who brings shame and disgrace.

15 I will now call to mind the works of the Lord, and will declare what I have seen. By the word of the Lord his works are made; and all his creatures do his will.
