Ecclesiasticus 9:2-6 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

2. Give not the power of thy soul to a woman, lest she enter upon thy strength, and thou be confounded.

3. Look not upon a woman that hath a mind for many: lest thou fall into her snares.

4. Use not much the company of her that is a dancer, and hearken not to her, lest thou perish by the force of her charms.

5. Gaze not upon a maiden, lest her beauty be a stumblingblock to thee.

6. Give not thy soul to harlots in any point: lest thou destroy thyself and thy inheritance.
