Ben Sira 25:19

Listen to Ben Sira 25:19
19 Compared with the troubles caused by a woman, any other trouble looks small. May such women suffer the fate of sinners!

Ben Sira 25:19 In-Context

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!
20 A quiet man living with a nagging wife is like an old man climbing up a sandy hill.
21 Never lose your head over a woman's beauty, and don't try to win a woman because she is wealthy.
Scripture taken from the Good News Translation - Second Edition, Copyright 1992 by American Bible Society. Used by Permission.
