Wisdom of Ben Sira 26:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 An unchaste wife can be discerned by her haughty stare;
her sidelong glances reveal the truth.
10 Keep a strict watch over a headstrong wife,[a]
or else, when she senses an opportunity, she will seize her chance.
11 Be on the lookout for her imprudent glance,
and do not be surprised if she disgraces you.
