Sirach 25:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ Her husband sits down among
his neighbors
    and unintentionally groans bitterly.
¹⁹ Any evil is small
when compared to a woman’s evil;
    may she experience a sinner’s fate.
²⁰ A talkative wife for a quiet husband
    is like a sand dune
    beneath the feet of an elderly person.
