Sirach 26:12

12 Just as thirsty travelers will open their mouths and drink from water that is near, she will sit in front of every peg, and she will open her quiver to an arrow.

Sirach 26:12 In-Context

10 Keep a strict watch over a disobedient daughter, or else, if she finds you off guard, she will take advantage of it.
11 Beware of her shameless eye, and don't be surprised if she wrongs you.
12 Just as thirsty travelers will open their mouths and drink from water that is near, she will sit in front of every peg, and she will open her quiver to an arrow.
13 A wife's charm will delight her husband, and her skill will put fat on his bones.
14 A silent wife is a gift from the Lord, and nothing can be traded for her self-discipline.
