Sirach 26:12DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 12 of 28

"The fornication of a woman shall be known by the haughtiness of her eyes, and by her eyelids."
Sirach 26:12

In context

10As a yoke of oxen that is moved to and fro, so also is a wicked woman: he that hath hold of her, is as he that taketh hold of a scorpion.

11A drunken woman is a great wrath: and her reproach and shame shall not be hid.

12The fornication of a woman shall be known by the haughtiness of her eyes, and by her eyelids.

13On a daughter that turneth not away herself, set a strict watch: lest finding an opportunity she abuse herself.

14Take heed of the impudence of her eyes, and wonder not if she slight thee.
