1 Esdras 4:15-20 World English Bible (WEB)

15. Women have borne the king and all the people that bear rule by sea and land.

16. Even of them came they: and they nourished them up that planted the vineyards, from whence the wine comes.

17. These also make garments for men; these bring glory to men; and without women can’t men be.

18. Yes, and if men have gathered together gold and silver and any other goodly thing, and see a woman which is comely in favor and beauty,

19. they let all those things go, and gape after her, and even with open mouth fix their eyes fast on her; and have all more desire to her than to gold or silver, or any goodly thing whatever.

20. A man leaves his own father that brought him up, and his own country, and cleaves to his wife.
