Sirach 25:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ Any evil is small
when compared to a woman’s evil;
    may she experience a sinner’s fate.
²⁰ A talkative wife for a quiet husband
    is like a sand dune
    beneath the feet of an elderly person.
²¹ Don’t fall for a woman’s beauty,
    and don’t long for a woman.
