Ben Sira 9:13 In-Context
11
Many by admiring the beauty of another man's wife, have become reprobate, for her conversation burneth as fire.

13
And strive not with her over wine, lest thy heart decline towards her, and by thy blood thou fall into destruction.
14
Forsake not an old friend, for the new will not be like to him.
15
A new friend is as new wine: it shall grow old, and thou shalt drink it with pleasure.
