Sirach 42:11-15

{42:11} Keep a close watch over a self-indulgent daughter. Otherwise, at some time, she might bring you into disgrace before your enemies, and into disrepute in the city, and into reproach among the people, and so she may confound you before the multitude of the people.
{42:12} She should not choose to gaze upon the beauty of every man, and she should not choose to spend her time in the midst of married women.
{42:13} For a moth goes forth from garments, and iniquity over a man goes forth from a woman.
{42:14} Yet iniquity over a man is better for her than if a married woman, seeking to benefit her, instead leads her into confusion and disgrace.
{42:15} And now, I will remember the works of the Lord, and I will announce what I have seen. The words of the Lord are in his works.
