Ben Sira 26:12

Listen to Ben Sira 26:12
12 As a thirsty traveler opens his mouth and drinks from any water near him, so she will sit in front of every tent peg and open her quiver to the arrow.

Ben Sira 26:12 In-Context

10 Keep strict watch over a headstrong daughter, or else, when she finds liberty, she will make use of it.
11 Be on guard against her impudent eye, and do not be surprised if she sins against you.
12 As a thirsty traveler opens his mouth and drinks from any water near him, so she will sit in front of every tent peg and open her quiver to the arrow.
13 A wife's charm delights her husband, and her skill puts flesh on his bones.
14 A silent wife is a gift from the Lord, and nothing is so precious as her self-discipline.
