18 Her husband sits down amonghis neighborsand unintentionally groans bitterly.
19 Any evil is smallwhen compared to a woman’s evil;may she experience a sinner’s fate.
20 A talkative wife for a quiet husbandis like a sand dunebeneath the feet of an elderly person.
21 Don’t fall for a woman’s beauty,and don’t long for a woman.
22 There will be anger, shamelessness,and utter disgracewhen a wife provides for her husband.
23 A wicked wife causes a humiliated heart,a gloomy face,and a wounded heart.Drooping hands and weakened kneescome from a womanwho doesn’t make her husband happy.
24 Sin began with a woman,and because of her all of us die.
