Sirach 9:6-8

Wycliffe Bible

⁶ Give thou not thy soul to whores in anything; lest thou lose thee, and thy soul, and thine heritage (or lest thou destroy thyself, and thy soul, and thy inheritance).

⁷ Do not thou behold about in the lanes of the city; neither err thou in the large streets thereof. [Do thou not behold about in the ways of the city; nor err thou about in the streets of it.]

⁸ Turn away thy face from a woman well arrayed; and behold thou not about the fairness of another or of another man’s wife. Many men have perished for the fairness of a woman; and thereby covetousness [or lust] burneth on high as fire/and thereby concupiscence burneth out as fire. Each woman which is an whore, either customable to fornication, shall be defouled as a fen, or a turd, in the way [or Each woman that is lecherous, as a thost (or dung) in the way shall be trodden]. Many men wondering on the fairness of an alien woman were made reprovable, for why the speech of her burneth on high as fire.
