Ben Sira 25:17

17 When a wife is in a bad mood, her expression changes until she looks like an angry bear.

Ben Sira 25:17 In-Context

15 No poison is deadlier than the poison of a snake, and no anger is deadlier than the anger of a woman.
16 I would rather live in the same house with a lion or a dragon than with a bad wife.
17 When a wife is in a bad mood, her expression changes until she looks like an angry bear.
18 Her husband has to go and eat with the neighbors, where he can't hold back his bitter sighs.
19 Compared with the troubles caused by a woman, any other trouble looks small. May such women suffer the fate of sinners!
