Sirach 9:6-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Do not give yourself to prostitutes,
or you may lose your inheritance.(A)
7 Do not look around in the streets of a city
or wander about in its deserted sections.(B)
8 Turn away your eyes from a shapely woman,
and do not gaze at beauty belonging to another;
many have been seduced by a woman’s beauty,
and by it passion is kindled like a fire.(C)
