Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 23:15-17 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

15. If you fall into the habit of using offensive language, you will never break yourself of it as long as you live.

16. There are any number of ways to sin and bring down the Lord's anger, but sexual passion is a hot blazing fire that cannot be put out at will; it can only burn itself out. A man who lives for nothing but sexual enjoyment will keep on until that fire destroys him.

17. To such a man all women are desirable, and he can never get enough as long as he lives.
