Sirach 25:20-22
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
20 A sandy ascent for the feet of the aged—
such is a garrulous wife to a quiet husband.
21 Do not be ensnared by a woman’s beauty,
and do not desire a woman for her possessions.[a]
22 There is wrath and impudence and great disgrace
when a wife supports her husband.
