Ben Sira 9:1-7

1 Do not be jealous of the wife of your bosom, or you will teach her an evil lesson to your own hurt.

2 Do not give yourself to a woman and let her trample down your strength.

3 Do not go near a loose woman, or you will fall into her snares.

4 Do not dally with a singing girl, or you will be caught by her tricks.

5 Do not look intently at a virgin, or you may stumble and incur penalties for her.

6 Do not give yourself to prostitutes, or you may lose your inheritance.

7 Do not look around in the streets of a city, or wander about in its deserted sections.
