Sirach 26:15LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 15 of 28
"She will open her mouth as a thirsty traveller to the fountain, and will drink of every water near her, and will sit down by every hedge, and open her quiver against every arrow, until she fail."
In context
13On a daughter that turneth not away herself, set a strict watch: lest finding an opportunity she abuse herself.
14Take heed of the impudence of her eyes, and wonder not if she slight thee.
15She will open her mouth as a thirsty traveller to the fountain, and will drink of every water near her, and will sit down by every hedge, and open her quiver against every arrow, until she fail.
16The grace of a diligent woman shall delight her husband, and shall fat his bones.
17Her discipline is the gift of God.
