In context
27A wise man will fear in everything, And in the day of sinning he will beware of offense: But a fool will not observe time.
28Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, And will give praise unto him that found her.
— Sirach 18:29 —
30Go not after thy lusts, But refrain thyself from thine appetites.
31If thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, She will make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies that malign thee.
