Ben Sira 42:14

14 A man's wickedness is better than a woman's goodness; women bring shame and disgrace.

Ben Sira 42:14 In-Context

12 Don't let her show off her beauty in front of men, or spend her time talking with the women.

13 Women hurt other women just as moths damage clothing.

14 A man's wickedness is better than a woman's goodness; women bring shame and disgrace.

15 Now I will remind you of the works of the Lord and describe the things I have seen. The words of the Lord brought his works into being, and the whole creation obeys his commands.

16 The light of the sun shines down on everything, and everything is filled with the Lord's glory.
