Ecclesiasticus 26:6-11 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. The accusation of a city, and the gathering together of the people:

7. And a false calumny, all are more grievous than death.

8. A jealous woman is the grief and mourning of the heart.

9. With a jealous woman is a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.

10. As a yoke of oxen that is moved to and fro, so also is a wicked woman: he that hath hold of her, is as he that taketh hold of a scorpion.

11. A drunken woman is a great wrath: and her reproach and shame shall not be hid.
