Ecclesiasticus 25:16 Context
14And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate me: and any reuenge, but the reuenge of enemies. 15There is no head aboue the head of a serpent, and there is no wrath aboue the wrath of an enemie. 16I had rather dwell with a lyon and a dragon, then to keepe house with a wicked woman. 17The wickednesse of a woman changeth her face, and darkeneth her countenance like sackecloth. 18Her husband shall sit among his neighbours: and when hee heareth it, shall sigh bitterly.
