Today's words of wisdom from Solomon about women
"As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion". (Like a ring of gold in the nose of a pig, is a beautiful woman who has no sense). Proverbs 11.22
"A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones." Proverbs 12.4
"A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping." Proverbs 19.13
"It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman." Proverbs 21.19
" Do not put yourself in a woman's hands or she may come to dominate you completely." Eclesiasticus 9.2
" Continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself." Proverbs 27.15 -16
And the last one from Eclesiasticus son of Sirah, Chapter 25
16 I would sooner keep house with a lion or a dragon than keep house with a spiteful wife.
17 A woman's spite changes her appearance and makes her face as grim as a bear's.
18 When her husband goes out to dinner with his neighbours, he cannot help heaving bitter sighs.
19 No spite can approach the spite of a woman, may a sinner's lot be hers!
20 Like the climbing of a sandhill for elderly feet, such is a garrulous wife for a quiet husband.
21 Do not be taken in by a woman's beauty, never lose your head over a woman.
22 Bad temper, insolence and shame hold sway where the wife supports the husband.
23 Low spirits, gloomy face, stricken heart: such is a spiteful wife. Slack hands and sagging knees: such is the wife who does not make her husband happy.
24 Sin began with a woman, and thanks to her we must all die.
25 Do not let water find a leak, nor a spiteful woman give free rein to her tongue.
26 If she will not do as you tell her, get rid of her.
