Revised Standard Version
Sirach 25:13-15
Revised Standard Version
Some Extreme Forms of Evil
13 Any wound, but not a wound of the heart!
Any wickedness, but not the wickedness of a wife!
14 Any attack, but not an attack from those who hate!
And any vengeance, but not the vengeance of enemies!
15 There is no venom[a] worse than a snake’s venom,[b]
and no wrath worse than an enemy’s wrath.
