Ecclesiasticus 42:11-15 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

11. Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter: lest at any time she make thee become a laughingstock to thy enemies, and a byword in the city, and a reproach among the people, and she make thee ashamed before all the multitude.

12. Behold not everybody's beauty: and tarry not among women.

13. For from garments cometh a moth, end from a woman the iniquity of a man.

14. For better is the iniquity of a man, than a woman doing a good turn, and a woman bringing shame and reproach.

15. I will now remember the works of the Lord, and I will declare the things I have seen. By the words of the Lord are his works.
