Sirach 25:21-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

21. and any vindication, but the vindication of his enemies.

22. There is no head worse than the head of a serpent,

23. and there is no anger above the anger of a wife. It would be more agreeable to abide with a lion or a dragon, than to live with a wicked wife.

24. A wicked wife changes her face. And she darkens her countenance like a bear. And she displays it like sackcloth. In the midst of her neighbors,

25. her husband groans, and hearing of this, he sighs a little.
