1 Esdras 4:23

23 A man takes his sword, goes out to travel abroad to raid, steal, and sail the sea and rivers.

1 Esdras 4:23 In-Context

21 With his wife he departs this life, with no memory of his father or mother or country.

22 Therefore, surely you must recognize that women rule over you! “Don't you work and labor, yet you bring everything and give it to women?

23 A man takes his sword, goes out to travel abroad to raid, steal, and sail the sea and rivers.

24 He faces lions; he walks in darkness; when he steals and robs and plunders, he carries it back to the woman he loves.

25 A man loves his own wife much more than his father or mother.
