Sirach 42:11-13
Common English Bible
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.
13 Moths come out of clothes,
and a woman’s wickedness
comes from a woman.
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.
