1 Esdras 4:18

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

1 Esdras 4:18 In-Context

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

19 And, letting all those things go, do they not gape, and even with open mouth fix their eyes fast on her; and have not all men more desire for her than for silver or gold or any goodly thing whatsoever?

20 A man leaveth his own father who brought him up, and his own country, and cleaveth unto his wife.
