1 Esdras 4:19

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?

1 Esdras 4:19 In-Context

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.
21 He stayeth not, to spend his life with his wife, and remembereth neither father nor mother nor country.
