Sirach 26:22

22 A hired woman will be considered the same as spit, but a married woman will be considered a tower of death to those who associate too closely with her.

Sirach 26:22 In-Context

20 After you have chosen a fertile plot out of every field, sow your own seed, being confident of your excellent descent.

21 Thus your offspring who surround you and who have confidence in their excellent descent, will become great.

22 A hired woman will be considered the same as spit, but a married woman will be considered a tower of death to those who associate too closely with her.

23 An ungodly woman will be bestowed on a lawless man as his portion, but a godly woman is granted to the man who fears the Lord.

24 A shameless woman will always be in disgrace, but a dignified daughter will show modesty even with her husband.
