above the head of a serpent; and there is no
wrath above the wrath of an enemy.

Sir 25:16
I had rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, than to keep
house with a wicked woman.

Sir 25:17
The wickedness of a woman changeth her face, and darkeneth
her countenance like sackcloth.

Sir 25:18
Her husband shall sit among his neighbours; and when he
heareth it shall sigh bitterly.

Sir 25:19
All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a woman:
let the portion of a sinner fall upon her.

Sir 25:20
As the climbing up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so
is a wife full of words to a quiet man.

Sir 25:21
Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not for
pleasure.

Sir 25:22
A woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger,
impudence, and much reproach.

Sir 25:23
A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy
countenance and a wounded heart: a woman that will not comfort
her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.

Sir 25:24
Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we
all die.

Sir 25:25
Give the water no passage; neither a wicked woman liberty to
gad abroad.

Sir 25:26
If she go not as thou wouldest have her, cut her off from thy
flesh, and give her a bill of divorce, and let her go.

Sir 26:1
Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous wife, for the number
of his days shall be double.

Sir 26:2
A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and he shall fulfil
the years of his life in peace.

Sir 26:3
A good wife is a good portion, which shall be given in the
portion of them that fear the Lord.

Sir 26:4
Whether a man be rich or poor, if he have a good heart toward
the Lord, he shall at all times rejoice with a cheerful
countenance.

Sir 26:5
There be three things that mine heart feareth; and for the
fourth I was sore afraid: the slander of a city, the gathering
together of an unruly multitude, and a false accusation: all
these are worse than death.

Sir 26:6
But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous
over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which
communicateth with all.

Sir 26:7
An evil wife is a yoke shaken to and fro: he that hath hold
of her is as though he held a scorpion.

Sir 26:8
A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, and
she will not cover her own shame.

Sir 26:9
The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and
eyelids.

Sir 26:10
