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.
18 Her husband shall sit at meat among his neighbors, And when he hears it he sighs bitterly.
19 All malice is but little to the malice of a woman: Let the portion of a sinner fall on her.
20 As the going up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, So is a wife full of words to a quiet man.
