Ben Sira 26:11

Listen to Ben Sira 26:11
11 Be on guard against her impudent eye, and do not wonder if she sins against you.

Ben Sira 26:11 In-Context

9 A wife's harlotry shows in her lustful eyes, and she is known by her eyelids.
10 Keep strict watch over a headstrong daughter, lest, when she finds liberty, she use it to her hurt.
11 Be on guard against her impudent eye, and do not wonder if she sins against you.
12 As a thirsty wayfarer opens his mouth and drinks from any water near him, so will she sit in front of every post and open her quiver to the arrow.
13 A wife's charm delights her husband, and her skill puts fat on his bones.
