1 Esdras 4:18

18 If men gather gold and silver or any valuable thing, and then see a desirable and beautiful woman,

1 Esdras 4:18 In-Context

16 From women they all are born. It was women who brought up those men who plant the vineyards from which wine is produced.

17 “Women make men's clothes. They bring men honor. Without women, men aren't even able to exist.

18 If men gather gold and silver or any valuable thing, and then see a desirable and beautiful woman,

19 they forget everything to gaze at her. With mouths wide open, they stare at her. All choose her over gold, silver, or any other valuable thing.

20 A man leaves his own father, who raised him, and his own country, and clings to his own wife.
