Sirach 42:13-15

Revised Standard Version

¹³ for from garments comes the moth,
    and from a woman comes woman’s wickedness.
¹⁴ Better is the wickedness of a man than a woman who does good;
    and it is a woman who brings shame and disgrace.

¹⁵ I will now call to mind the works of the Lord,
    and will declare what I have seen.
By the words of the Lord his works are done.
