Sirach 42:10-12
Common English Bible
10 while she’s a virgin,
that she not be seduced
and become pregnant
while still living at home;
when she’s married,
that she not go straying;
or having married,
that she not be infertile.
11 Keep a strict watch over
an unruly daughter
so that she doesn’t make you
an object of ridicule to your enemies,
a topic of talk in the city
and the assembly of the people,
and she shame you before the crowd.
12 Don’t consider the beauty
of any person,[a]
and don’t spend time among women.
Footnotes
- Sirach 42:12 Heb Don’t allow any latticework in her room nor a place that overlooks the entrance to the house; don’t let her display her beauty before any man.
