1 Esdras 4:22

22 So you must recognize that women are your masters. Don't you work and sweat and then take all that you have earned and give it to your wives?

1 Esdras 4:22 In-Context

20 A man will leave his own father, who brought him up, and leave his own country to get married.

21 He will forget his father, his mother, and his country to spend the rest of his life with his wife.

22 So you must recognize that women are your masters. Don't you work and sweat and then take all that you have earned and give it to your wives?

23 A man will take his sword and go out to attack, rob and steal, and sail the seas and rivers.

24 He may have to face lions or travel in the dark, but when he has robbed, stolen, and plundered, he will bring the loot home to the woman he loves.
