Ecclesiasticus 41:24-28 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

24. Of theft, and of the truth of God, and the covenant: of leaning with thy elbow over meat, and of deceit in giving and taking:

25. Of silence before them that salute thee: of looking upon a harlot: and of turning away thy face from thy kinsman.

26. Turn not sway thy face from thy neighbour, and of taking away a portion and not restoring.

27. Gaze not upon another man's wife, and be not inquisitive after his handmaid, and approach not her bed.

28. Be ashamed of upbraiding speeches before friends: and after thou hast given, upbraid not.
