1 Esdras 4:24 In-Context

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.

26 Yea, many there be who have run out of their wits for women and become servants for their sakes.
