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.
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.
23
A dejected mind, a gloomy face, and a wounded heart are caused by an evil wife. Drooping hands and weak knees are caused by 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 in an evil wife.
