10
How great is he who has gained wisdom! But there is no one superior to him who fears the Lord.
11
The fear of the Lord surpasses everything; to whom shall be likened the one who holds it fast?
13
Any wound, but not a wound of the heart! Any wickedness, but not the wickedness of a wife!
14
Any attack, but not an attack 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 wrath worse than an enemy's wrath.
16
I would rather dwell with a lion and a dragon than dwell with an evil wife.
17
The wickedness of a wife changes her appearance, and darkens her face like that of a bear.
18
Her husband takes his meals among the neighbors, and he cannot help sighing bitterly.
19
Any iniquity is insignificant compared to a wife's iniquity; may a sinner's lot befall her!
20
A sandy ascent for the feet of the aged -- such is a garrulous wife for a quiet husband.
