Ben Sira 25:24

24 From a woman sin had its beginning, and because of her we all die.

Ben Sira 25:24 In-Context

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

23 Dejected mind, gloomy face, and wounded heart come from an evil wife. Drooping hands and weak knees come from the wife who does not make her husband happy.

24 From a woman sin had its beginning, and because of her we all die.

25 Allow no outlet to water, and no boldness of speech to an evil wife.

26 If she does not go as you direct, separate her from yourself.
