Sirach 25:17

17 A woman's wickedness changes her appearance, and it darkens her face like that of a bear.

Sirach 25:17 In-Context

15 No poison is worse than a snake's poison, and no anger is worse than an enemy's anger.
16 I would rather live with a lion or a serpent than live with a wicked woman.
17 A woman's wickedness changes her appearance, and it darkens her face like that of a bear.
18 Her husband sits down among his neighbors and unintentionally groans bitterly.
19 Any evil is small when compared to a woman's evil; may she experience a sinner's fate.
