Sirach 9:2 CPDV

¹  You should not be jealous of the wife of your bosom, lest she reveal, because of you, the malice of a wicked lesson.

²  You should not give authority over your soul to a woman, lest she obtain your strength, and then you would be confounded.

³  You should not look with favor on a woman with many desires, lest perhaps you may fall into her traps.

⁴  You should not be continually in need of entertainment, nor should you be persuaded by it, lest perhaps you may perish by its effectiveness.
