13
Any wound, but not a wound of the heart! Any wickedness, but not the wickedness of a wife!
14
Any attack, but not an attack from those who hate! And any vengeance, but not the vengeance of enemies!
15
There is no venom worse than a snake's venom, and no wrath worse than an enemy's wrath.
16
I would rather dwell with a lion and a dragon than dwell with an evil wife.
