Ben Sira 42:14

14 Better is the churlishness of a man than a courtesan-like woman, a woman, I say, who bringeth shame and reproach.

Ben Sira 42:14 In-Context

12 Behold not every body's beauty, and sit not in the midst of women.

13 For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness.

14 Better is the churlishness of a man than a courtesan-like woman, a woman, I say, who bringeth shame and reproach.

15 I will now remember the works of the Lord, and declare the things that I have seen; in the words of the Lord are His works.

16 The sun that giveth light looketh upon all things, and the work thereof is full of the glory of the Lord.
