13 Give me any plague but the plague of the heart; And any wickedness but the wickedness of a woman;
14 Any calamity, but a calamity from them that hate me; And any vengeance, but the vengeance of enemies.
15 There is no head above the head of a serpent; And there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.
16 I will rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, Than keep house with a wicked woman.
17 The wickedness of a woman changes her look, And darkens her countenance as a bear does.
