Sirach 25:22-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 There is wrath and impudence and great disgrace
when a wife supports her husband.
23 Dejected mind, gloomy face,
and wounded heart come from an evil wife.
Drooping hands and weak knees
come from the wife who does not make her husband happy.(A)
24 From a woman sin had its beginning,
and because of her we all die.(B)
