Sirach 41:20

of silence when people greet you, of looking at a female escort,
For it is not good to keep all shamefacedness: and all things do not please all men in opinion.
of not returning a greeting, of staring at a prostitute,
of rebuffing your own relatives; Of defrauding another of his appointed share, of failing to return a greeting; Of gazing at a man’s wife, of entertaining thoughts about another woman;
and of ignoring those who greet you, of gazing at a prostitute
and of silence, before those who greet you; of looking at a prostitute,
and of silence, before those who greet you; of looking at a prostitute,
and of silence, before those who greet you; of looking at a prostitute,
and of silence before those who greet you, of looking at a prostitute
and of silence, before those who greet you; of looking at a woman who is a harlot,
and of silence, before those who greet you; of looking at a woman who is a harlot,
of stillness, before them that greet (thee); of the beholding of a lecherous woman; and of the turning away of the cheer (or the face) of a cousin. [from men saluting, of stillness; from beholding of a fornicary woman, and from the turning away of the cheer of the cousin.]
