Sirach 23:5-7
Wycliffe Bible
5 and turn thou away from me all shrewd (or depraved) desire. [and all desire turn away from me.]
6 Do thou away from me the covetousnesses of the womb, and the covetousnesses of lechery take me not; and give thou not me (over) (in)to a soul unreverent and undiscreet or unsavoury. [Do away from me lusts of the womb, and the lyings of lust not take they me; and to unreverent inwit and undiscreet not take thou me.]
7 Sons, hear ye the teaching of (the) mouth; and he that keepeth it, shall not perish by his lips, neither shall be caused to stumble in worst works. [The doctrine of the mouth hear ye, sons; and that shall keep it, shall not perish in his lips, nor shall be caused to stumble in wickedest works.]
