13
Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman:
14
And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate me: and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies.
15
There is no head above the head of a serpent; and there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.
16
I had rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, than to keep house with a wicked woman.
17
The wickedness of a woman changeth her face, and darkeneth her countenance like sackcloth.
18
Her husband shall sit among his neighbours; and when he heareth it shall sigh bitterly.
19
All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a woman: let the portion of a sinner fall upon her.
20
As the climbing up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of words to a quiet man.
21
Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not for pleasure.
22
A woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger, impudence, and much reproach.
23
A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy countenance and a wounded heart: a woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.
