6 Let neither gluttony nor lust overcome me, and do not surrender me to a shameless soul.

Ben Sira 23:6 In-Context

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.
8 The sinner is overtaken through his lips, the reviler and the arrogant are tripped by them.
