Ben Sira 25:27

27 As the climbing of a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of tongue to a quiet man.

Ben Sira 25:27 In-Context

25 Her husband groaned, and hearing he sighed a little.

26 All malice is shore to the malice of a woman, let the lot of sinners fall upon her.

27 As the climbing of a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of tongue to a quiet man.

28 Look not upon a woman's beauty, and desire not a woman for beauty.

29 A woman's anger, and impudence, and confusion is great.
