Sirach 25:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ Compared with the troubles caused by a woman, any other trouble looks small. May such women suffer the fate of sinners!

²⁰ A quiet man living with a nagging wife is like an old man climbing up a sandy hill.

²¹ Never lose your head over a woman's beauty, and don't try to win a woman because she is wealthy.^[a]
