11
Fear of the Lord surpasses everything; to whom can we compare the one who has it?
13
Any wound, but not a wound of the heart! Any wickedness, but not the wickedness of a woman!
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.
19
Any iniquity is small compared to a woman's iniquity; may a sinner's lot befall her!
20

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