19. And ally wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman:
20. And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate him:
21. And ally revenge, but the revenge of enemies.
22. There is no head worse than the head of a serpent:
23. And there is no anger above the anger of a woman. It will be more agreeable to abide with a lion and a dragon, than to dwell with a wicked woman.
24. The wickedness of a woman changeth her face: and she darkeneth her countenance as a bear: and sheweth it like sackcloth. In the midst of her neighbours,
25. Her husband groaned, and hearing he sighed a little.
26. All malice is shore to the malice of a woman, let the lot of sinners fall upon her.
27. As the climbing of a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of tongue to a quiet man.
28. Look not upon a woman's beauty, and desire not a woman for beauty.
