Sirach 42:13DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 13 of 26
"For from garments cometh a moth, and from a woman the iniquity of a man."
In context
11Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter: lest at any time she make thee become a laughingstock to thy enemies, and a byword in the city, and a reproach among the people, and she make thee ashamed before all the multitude.
12Behold not everybody’s beauty: and tarry not among women.
13For from garments cometh a moth, and from a woman the iniquity of a man.
14For better is the iniquity of a man, than a woman doing a good turn, and a woman bringing shame and reproach.
15I will now remember the works of the Lord, and I will declare the things I have seen. By the words of the Lord are his works.
