In context
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.
16The sun giving light hath looked upon all things, and full of the glory of the Lord is his work.
