5 Of three things, my heart has been afraid, and at a fourth, my face has shown dread:
6 an accusation made by a city, and the gathering of a mob,
7 and a deceitful false accusation. All these are more grievous than death.
8 A jealous wife is a grief and a mourning to the heart.
9 In a jealous wife, there is a scourge of the tongue, which communicates with everyone.
10 Like a yoke of oxen being provoked, so also is a wicked wife. He who has hold of her is like one who has taken hold of a scorpion.
11 An inebriated wife is a great wrath. And her disgrace and indecency will not be covered.
