Ecclesiasticus 9:9 Context
7Looke not round about thee, in the streets of the citie, neither wander thou in the solitary places thereof. 8Turne away thine eye from a beautifull woman, and looke not vpon anothers beautie: for many haue beene deceiued by the beautie of a woman, for heerewith loue is kindled as a fire. 9Sit not at all with another mans wife, nor sit downe with her in thine armes, and spend not thy money with her at the wine, least thine heart incline vnto her, and so thorough thy desire thou fall into destruction. 10Forsake not an old friend, for the new is not comparable to him: a new friend is as new wine: when it is old, thou shalt drinke it with pleasure. 11Enuy not the glory of a sinner: for thou knowest not what shall be his end.
