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.
