Ben Sira 26:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 A wife jealous of another wife is heartache and mourning;[a]
everyone feels the lash of her tongue.
7 A wicked wife is a chafing yoke;
taking hold of her is like grasping a scorpion.
8 A drunken wife arouses great anger,
for she does not hide her shame.
