24 A wicked wife changes her face. And she darkens her countenance like a bear. And she displays it like sackcloth. In the midst of her neighbors,
25 her husband groans, and hearing of this, he sighs a little.
26 All malice is brief compared to the malice of a wife. Let the fate of sinners fall upon her!
27 As climbing over sand is to the feet of the aged, so is a talkative wife to a quiet man.
28 You should not favor a woman's beauty, and you should not desire a wife for her beauty.
29 The anger and disrespect and shame from a wife can be great.
30 The wife, if she has primacy, is set against her husband.
