1 Esdras 4:16 In-Context

14 "O ye men, it is not the great king nor the multitude of men, neither is it wine that excelleth. Who is it then who ruleth them or hath the lordship over them? Are they not women?

15 Women have borne the king and all the people who bear rule by sea and land.

16 Even of them came they; and they nourished them up who planted the vineyards, from whence the wine cometh.

17 These also make garments for men; these bring glory unto men, and without women cannot men be.

18 "Yea, and if men have gathered together gold and silver or any other goodly thing, do they not love a woman who is comely in favor and beauty?Œ
