1 Esdras 4:23

23 "Yea, a man taketh his sword and goeth his way to rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers,

1 Esdras 4:23 In-Context

21 He stayeth not, to spend his life with his wife, and remembereth neither father nor mother nor country.
22 By this also ye must know that women have dominion over you: do ye not labor and toil, and give and bring all to the woman?
23 "Yea, a man taketh his sword and goeth his way to rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers,
24 and looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness; and when he hath stolen, despoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to his love.
25 Therefore a man loveth his wife better than father or mother.
