Sirach 26:22-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 A prostitute is regarded as spittle
and a married woman as a tower of death to her lovers.(A)
23 A godless wife is given as a portion to a lawless man,
but a pious wife is given to the man who fears the Lord.
24 A shameless woman constantly acts disgracefully,
but a modest daughter will even be embarrassed before her husband.
