Sirach 26:6

Listen to Sirach 26:6
6 Women who are rivals bring heartache and grief, and a tongue-lashing shares it with everyone.

Sirach 26:6 In-Context

4 Whether in poverty or in wealth, his heart is happy; at every moment he has a cheerful face.
5 My heart was cautious about three things, and I was fearful in the face of a fourth— slander in a city, the gathering of a mob, and a false accusation— all of these are more miserable than death.
6 Women who are rivals bring heartache and grief, and a tongue-lashing shares it with everyone.
7 A wicked wife is like a chafing ox yoke; the one who holds her is like one who grasps a scorpion.
8 A drunken wife is the same as rage; she won't hide her disgraceful conduct.
