Sirach 25:14-17

1. 14 And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate me: and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies.

2. 15 There is no head above the head of a serpent; and there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.

3. 16 I had rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, than to keep house with a wicked woman.

4. 17 The wickedness of a woman changeth her face, and darkeneth her countenance like sackcloth.
