Sirach 9:4-8

1. 4 Use not much the company of a woman that is a singer, lest thou be taken with her attempts.

2. 5 Gaze not on a maid, that thou fall not by those things that are precious in her.

3. 6 Give not thy soul unto harlots, that thou lose not thine inheritance.

4. 7 Look not round about thee in the streets of the city, neither wander thou in the solitary place thereof.

5. 8 Turn away thine eye from a beautiful woman, and look not upon another's beauty; for many have been deceived by the beauty of a woman; for herewith love is kindled as a fire.
