Sirach 23:6 CPDV

⁴  Lord, Father and God of my life: may you not abandon me to their plans.

⁵  Do not leave me with the haughtiness of my eyes. And avert all desire from me.

⁶  Take the desire of the body from me, and do not allow sexual desire to take hold of me, and do not permit an irreverent and senseless mind within me.

⁷  O sons: listen to the doctrine of my mouth. For those who observe it will not perish by the lips, nor be scandalized into wicked works.

⁸  A sinner is held by his own emptiness. And the arrogant and those who speak evil will be scandalized by these things.
