Ben Sira 25:23

23 A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh a heavy countenance and a wounded heart. A woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.

Ben Sira 25:23 In-Context

21 Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not for pleasure.
22 A woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger, impudence, and much reproach.
23 A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh a heavy countenance and a wounded heart. A woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.
24 From the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die.
25 Give the water no passage, neither a wicked woman liberty to gad abroad.
