25 "A man loves his wife more than his parents.

1 Esdras 4:25 In-Context

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.
25 "A man loves his wife more than his parents.
26 Some men are driven out of their minds on account of a woman, and others become slaves for the sake of a woman.
27 Others have been put to death, have ruined their lives, or have committed crimes because of a woman.
