Ben Sira 9:7

Listen to Ben Sira 9:7
7 Do not look around in the streets of a city, nor wander about in its deserted sections.

Ben Sira 9:7 In-Context

5 Do not look intently at a virgin, lest you stumble and incur penalties for her.
6 Do not give yourself to harlots lest you lose your inheritance.
7 Do not look around in the streets of a city, nor wander about in its deserted sections.
8 Turn away your eyes from a shapely woman, and do not look intently at beauty belonging to another; many have been misled by a woman's beauty, and by it passion is kindled like a fire.
9 Never dine with another man's wife, nor revel with her at wine; lest your heart turn aside to her, and in blood you be plunged into destruction.
