13. Give me any plague but the plague of the heart; And any wickedness but the wickedness of a woman;
14. Any calamity, but a calamity from them that hate me; And any vengeance, but the vengeance of enemies.
15. There is no head above the head of a serpent; And there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.
16. I will rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, Than keep house with a wicked woman.
17. The wickedness of a woman changes her look, And darkens her countenance as a bear does.
18. Her husband shall sit at meat among his neighbors, And when he hears it he sighs bitterly.
19. All malice is but little to the malice of a woman: Let the portion of a sinner fall on her.
20. As the going up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, So is a wife full of words to a quiet man.
21. Throw not yourself upon the beauty of a woman; And desire not a woman for her beauty.
22. There is anger, and impudence, and great reproach, If a woman maintain her husband.
23. A wicked woman is abasement of heart, And sadness of countenance, and a wounded heart: A woman that will not make her husband happy Is as hands that hang down, and palsied knees.
24. From a woman was the beginning of sin; And because of her we all die.
25. Give not water an outlet; Neither to a wicked woman freedom of speech.
