Sirach 42:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ For from garments cometh a moth, and from a woman the iniquity of a man.

¹⁴ For better is the iniquity of a man, than a woman doing a good turn, and a woman bringing shame and reproach.

¹⁵ I will now remember the works of the Lord, and I will declare the things I have seen. By the words of the Lord are his works.
