"The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids. If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty." (Sirach 26:9-10)

Only a sadistic bastard would write and believe these verses of bible.
Note to The_Cricket below, you call this "Inerrant words of god". And you say it's not in Bible? What a liar, what a hypocrite!

Sirach is not in my Bible.
Furthermore, this is only talking about women who are NOT righteous.
I don't know where you copy and paste your ideas from, but whoever types all this stuff up doesn't understand Christianity at all.
Look to yourself, and QUIT TRYING TO CONVERT PEOPLE! (Especially with all this nonsense!)
Note to answerer above: Sirach is NOT in the Protestant Bible. It is part of the Apocrypha. I'M not the one who took it out, therefore no one has the right to call me a liar OR a hypocrite!

Sirach is apocryphal. It is not Biblical. Therefore, it is not part of the inerrent Word of God. Besides, IF it were in the Bible, it would be classified "Old" Testament so Jesus would be the example - he treated women with respect when society said not to.

Sirach isn't in the Bible. This sounds more like something out of the quran.

The Bible does not have a book called "Sirach".

Hey i dont agree with you and my bible doesnt have a chapter named sirach.
Futhermore if something like this is written in your bible I am absolutely positive that these words are used in representing evil women.
