Sirach 42:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

12 Do not let her parade her beauty before any man
    or spend her time among married women,[a](A)
13 for from garments comes the moth
    and from a woman comes woman’s wickedness.(B)
14 Better is the wickedness of a man than a woman who does good;
    it is a woman who brings shame and disgrace.(C)
