Sirach 42:14-16
Revised Standard Version
14 Better is the wickedness of a man than a woman who does good;
and it is a woman who brings shame and disgrace.
The Works of God in Nature
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.
16 The sun looks down on everything with its light,
and the work of the Lord is full of his glory.
