Sirach 26:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 The haughty stare betrays a sexually immoral wife;
her eyelids give her away.(A)
10 Keep strict watch over a headstrong daughter,
or else, when she finds liberty, she will make use of it.(B)
11 Be on guard against her impudent eye,
and do not be surprised if she sins against you.
