Sharing wisdom with my sisters. I will rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, Than keep house with a wicked woman. The wickedness of a woman changeth her look, And darkeneth her countenance as a bear doth. Her husband shall sit at meat among his neighbours, And when he heareth it he sigheth bitterly. All malice is but little to the malice of a woman: Let the portion of a sinner fall on her. As the going up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, So is a wife full of words to a quiet man. Throw not thyself upon the beauty of a woman; And desire not a woman for her beauty. There is anger, and impudence, and great reproach, If a woman maintain her husband. A wicked woman is abasement of heart, And sadness of countenance, and a wounded heart: A woman that will not make her husband happy Is as hands that hang down, and palsied knees. From a woman was the beginning of sin; And because of her we all die. Give not water an outlet; Neither to a wicked woman freedom of speech. If she go not as thou wouldest have her, Cut her off from thy flesh.
Ecclesiasticus 25:16-26 RV1895
