Ben Sira 25:23

23 A bad wife will make her husband gloomy and depressed, and break his heart. Show me a timid man who can never make up his mind, and I will show you a wife who doesn't make her husband happy.

Ben Sira 25:23 In-Context

21 Never lose your head over a woman's beauty, and don't try to win a woman because she is wealthy.

22 When a man is supported by his wife, there is sure to be anger, arrogance, and humiliation.

23 A bad wife will make her husband gloomy and depressed, and break his heart. Show me a timid man who can never make up his mind, and I will show you a wife who doesn't make her husband happy.

24 Sin began with a woman, and we must all die because of her.

25 Don't let a bad wife have her way, any more than you would allow water to leak from your cistern.
