Sirach 25:21-23
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
21 Do not be ensnared by a woman’s beauty,
and do not desire a woman for her possessions.[a]
22 There is wrath and impudence and great disgrace
when a wife supports her husband.
23 A dejected mind, a gloomy face,
and a wounded heart are caused by an evil wife.
Drooping hands and weak knees
are caused by the wife who does not make her husband happy.
