1 Esdras 4:22-24

Common English Bible

²² Therefore, surely you must recognize that women rule over you!

“Don’t you work and labor, yet you bring everything and give it to women? ²³ A man takes his sword, goes out to travel abroad to raid, steal, and sail the sea and rivers. ²⁴ He faces lions; he walks in darkness; when he steals and robs and plunders, he carries it back to the woman he loves.
