Ben Sira 26:12

12 She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveler when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her; by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.

Ben Sira 26:12 In-Context

10 If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in strictly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty.
11 Watch over an impudent eye, and marvel not if she trespass against thee.
12 She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveler when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her; by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.
13 The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord, and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed.
