Ben Sira 36:22

22 A perverse heart will cause grief, and a man of experience will resist it.

Ben Sira 36:22 In-Context

20 The belly will devour all meat, yet one is better than another.
21 palate tasteth venison and the wise heart false speeches.
22 A perverse heart will cause grief, and a man of experience will resist it.
23 A woman will receive every man: yet one daughter is better than an- other.
24 The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance of her husband, and a man desireth nothing more.
