Sirach 25:15-17
Common English Bible
15 No poison is worse than a snake’s poison,[a]
and no anger is worse
than an enemy’s anger.
16 I would rather live with a lion or a serpent
than live with a wicked woman.
17 A woman’s wickedness
changes her appearance,
and it darkens her face like that of a bear.
