Ben Sira 42:14

14 For better is the iniquity of a man, than a woman doing a good turn, and a woman bringing shame and reproach.

Ben Sira 42:14 In-Context

12 Behold not everybody's beauty: and tarry not among women.

13 For from garments cometh a moth, end from a woman the iniquity of a man.

14 For better is the iniquity of a man, than a woman doing a good turn, and a woman bringing shame and reproach.

15 I will now remember the works of the Lord, and I will declare the things I have seen. By the words of the Lord are his works.

16 The sun giving light hath looked upon all things, and full of the glory of the Lord is his work.
