Ben Sira 23:5

5 and remove from me evil desire.

Ben Sira 23:5 In-Context

3 in order that my mistakes may not be multiplied, and my sins may not abound; then I will not fall before my adversaries, and my enemy will not rejoice over me.
4 O Lord, Father and God of my life, do not give me haughty eyes
5 and remove from me evil desire.
6 Let neither gluttony nor lust overcome me, and do not surrender me to a shameless soul.
7 Listen, my children, to instruction concerning speech; the one who observes it will never be caught.
