4Whether a man be rich or poor, if he have a good heart toward the Lord, He shall at all times rejoice with a cheerful countenance.
5There be three things that my heart feareth; And for the fourth I was sore afraid: The slander of a city, the gathering together of an unruly multitude, And a false accusation: all these are worse than death.
— Sirach 26:6 —
7An evil wife is a yoke shaken to and fro: He that hath hold of her is as though he held a scorpion.
8A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, And she will not cover her own shame.
