Ben Sira 25:20

20 A sandy ascent for the feet of the aged— such is a garrulous wife to a quiet husband.

Ben Sira 25:20 In-Context

18 Her husband sits among the neighbors, and he cannot help sighing bitterly.

19 Any iniquity is small compared to a woman's iniquity; may a sinner's lot befall her!

20 A sandy ascent for the feet of the aged— such is a garrulous wife to a quiet husband.

21 Do not be ensnared by a woman's beauty, and do not desire a woman for her possessions.

22 There is wrath and impudence and great disgrace when a wife supports her husband.
