Sirach 25:13-15
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Some Extreme Forms of Evil
13 Any wound, but not a wound of the heart!
Any wickedness, but not the wickedness of a woman!
14 Any suffering, but not suffering from those who hate!
And any vengeance, but not the vengeance of enemies!
15 There is no venom[a] worse than a snake’s venom,[b]
and no anger worse than a woman’s[c] wrath.
