Sirach 18:30DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 30 of 33
"Go not after thy lusts, but turn away from thy own will."
In context
28Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, and will give praise to him that findeth her.
29They that were of good understanding in words, have also done wisely themselves: and have understood truth and justice, and have poured forth proverbs and judgments.
30Go not after thy lusts, but turn away from thy own will.
31If thou give to thy soul her desires, she will make thee a joy to thy enemies.
32Take no pleasure in riotous assemblies, be they ever so small: for their concertation is continual.
