Sirach 25:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ Any wound, but not a wound to the heart;
    and any wickedness,
    but not a woman’s wickedness!
¹⁴ Any attack,
but not an attack by those who hate;
    and any vengeance,
    but not the vengeance of enemies.
¹⁵ No poison is worse than a snake’s poison,^[a]
    and no anger is worse
    than an enemy’s anger.
