"A jealous woman is the grief and mourning of the heart."
Sirach 26:8

In context

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

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

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

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

10As 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.
