Sirach 25:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ I would rather live with a lion or a serpent
    than live with a wicked woman.
¹⁷ A woman’s wickedness
changes her appearance,
    and it darkens her face like that of a bear.
¹⁸ Her husband sits down among
his neighbors
    and unintentionally groans bitterly.
