| 9 1 | Do not be jealous of the wife of your bosom, and do not teach her an evil lesson to your own hurt. | Women. Sir.9.1-9 | Μὴ ζήλου γυναῖκα τοῦ κόλπου σου, μηδὲ διδάξῃς ἐπὶ σεαυτὸν παιδείαν πονηράν. |
| 2 | Do not give yourself to a woman so that she gains mastery over your strength. | μὴ δῷς γυναικὶ τὴν ψυχήν σου, ἐπιβῆναι αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν ἰσχύν σου. | |
| 3 | Do not go to meet a loose woman, lest you fall into her snares. | μὴ ὑπάντα γυναικὶ ἑταιριζομένῃ, μή ποτε ἐμπέσῃς εἰς τὰς παγίδας αὐτῆς. | |
| 4 | Do not associate with a woman singer, lest you be caught in her intrigues. | μετὰ ψαλλούσης μὴ ἐνδελέχιζε, μή ποτε ἁλῷς ἐν τοῖς ἐπιχειρήμασιν αὐτῆς. | |
| 5 | Do not look intently at a virgin, lest you stumble and incur penalties for her. | παρθένον μὴ καταμάνθανε, μή ποτε σκανδαλισθῇς ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτιμίοις αὐτῆς. | |
| 6 | Do not give yourself to harlots lest you lose your inheritance. | μὴ δῷς πόρναις τὴν ψυχήν σου, ἵνα μὴ ἀπολέσῃς τὴν κληρονομίαν σου. | |
| 7 | Do not look around in the streets of a city, nor wander about in its deserted sections. | μὴ περιβλέπου ἐν ῥύμαις πόλεως, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἐρήμοις αὐτῆς μὴ πλανῶ. | |
| 8 | Turn away your eyes from a shapely woman, and do not look intently at beauty belonging to another; many have been misled by a woman's beauty, and by it passion is kindled like a fire. | ἀπόστρεψον ὀφθαλμὸν ἀπὸ γυναικὸς εὐμόρφου, καὶ μὴ καταμάνθανε κάλλος ἀλλότριον· ἐν κάλλει γυναικὸς πολλοὶ ἐπλανήθησαν, καὶ ἐκ τούτου φιλία ὡς πῦρ ἀνακαίεται. | |
| 9 | Never dine with another man's wife, nor revel with her at wine; lest your heart turn aside to her, and in blood you be plunged into destruction. | ||
