Sirach 25:19-21
Good News Translation

19 Compared with the troubles caused by a woman, any other trouble looks small. May such women suffer the fate of sinners!

20 A quiet man living with a nagging wife is like an old man climbing up a sandy hill.

21 Never lose your head over a woman's beauty, and don't try to win a woman because she is wealthy.[a]
