Ben Sira 42:13

13 For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness.

Ben Sira 42:13 In-Context

11 Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter, lest she make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies, and a byword in the city, and a reproach among the people, and make thee ashamed before the multitude.
12 Behold not every body's beauty, and sit not in the midst of women.
13 For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness.
14 Better is the churlishness of a man than a courtesan-like woman, a woman, I say, who bringeth shame and reproach.
15 I will now remember the works of the Lord, and declare the things that I have seen; in the words of the Lord are His works.
