Ben Sira 25:16 In-Context

14 Any suffering, but not suffering from those who hate! And any vengeance, but not the vengeance of enemies!
15 There is no venom worse than a snake's venom, and no anger worse than a woman's wrath.
16 I would rather live with a lion and a dragon than live with an evil woman.
17 A woman's wickedness changes her appearance, and darkens her face like that of a bear.
18 Her husband sits among the neighbors, and he cannot help sighing bitterly.
