15Whoso giveth ear unto her shall judge the nations: and he that attendeth unto her shall dwell securely.
— Sirach 4:16 —
17For at the first she will walk with him by crooked ways, and bring fear and dread upon him, and torment him with her discipline, until she may trust his soul, and try him by her laws.
18Then will she return the straight way unto him, and comfort him, and shew him her secrets.
