Sirach 41:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰     and of silence, before those who greet you;
of looking at a prostitute,
²¹     and of rejecting the appeal of a relative;
of taking away someone’s portion or gift,
    and of gazing at another man’s wife;
²² of meddling with his servant-girl—
    and do not approach her bed;
of abusive words, before friends—
    and do not be insulting after making a gift.
