Sirach 42:14

14 Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and reproach.

Sirach 42:14 In-Context

12 Behold not every body's beauty, and sit not in the midst of women.
13 For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness.
14 Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and reproach.
15 I will now remember the works of the Lord, and declare the things that I have seen: In the words of the Lord are his works.
16 The sun that giveth light looketh upon all things, and the work thereof is full of the glory of the Lord.
