Quotations about He and She

{11:7} For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

{11:8} For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

{11:9} for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

{11:10} For this cause the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.

Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 11:7-10

Give me any plague but the plague of the heart;
And any wickedness but the wickedness of a woman;
Any calamity, but a calamity from those who hate me;
And any vengeance, but the vengeance of enemies.
There is no head above the head of a serpent;
And there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.
I will rather dwell with a lion and a dragon,
Than keep house with a wicked woman.
The wickedness of a woman changes her look,
And darkens her countenance as a bear does.
Her husband will sit at meat among his neighbors,
And when he hears it he sighs bitterly.
All malice is but little to the malice of a woman:
Let the portion of a sinner fall on her.
As the going up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged,
So is a wife full of words to a quiet man.
Throw not yourself upon the beauty of a woman;
And desire not a woman for her beauty.
There is anger, and impudence, and great reproach,
If a woman maintain her husband.
A wicked woman is abasement of heart,
And sadness of countenance, and a wounded heart:
A woman that will not make her husband happy
Is as hands that hang down, and palsied knees.
From a woman was the beginning of sin;
And because of her we all die.
Give not water an outlet;
Neither to a wicked woman freedom of speech.
If she go not † as you would have her,
Cut her off from your flesh.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 25:13-26

To son and wife, to brother and friend,
Give not power over you while you live;
And give not your goods to another,
Lest you repent and make supplication for them again.
Whilst you yet live, and breath is in you,
Give not yourself over to anybody.
For better it is that your children should supplicate you,
Than that you should look to the hand of your sons.
In all your works keep the upper hand;
Bring not a stain on your honor.
In the day that you endest the days of your life,
And in the time of death, distribute your inheritance.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 33:19-23

{22:14} The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit: he who is under Yahweh's wrath will fall into it.

Proverbs 22:14

{3:16} To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bear children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."

Genesis 3:16

{3:7} You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.

Peter's First Letter 3:7

{13:4} Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

The Letter to the Hebrews 13:4

Look not upon every body in regard of beauty,
And sit not in the midst of women;

For from garments comes a moth,
And from a woman a woman’s wickedness.

Better is the wickedness of a man than a pleasant-dealing woman,
And a woman which puts you to shameful reproach.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 42:12-14

Wine and women will make men of understanding to fall away: and he that cleaves to harlots will be the more reckless.
Moths and worms will have him to heritage; And a reckless soul will be taken away.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 19:2-3

Two million people died with coronavirus last year, and 42 million died of abortions.

Father Jacek, a Catholic priest.

In those days also saw I the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab: and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.

I contended with them, and cursed them, and struck certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, "You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.

Didn't Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin.

Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?"

Nehemiah 13:23-27

Why, headstrong liberty is lash’d with woe.
There’s nothing situate under heaven’s eye
But hath his bound in earth, in sea, in sky.
The beasts, the fishes, and the winged fowls
Are their males’ subjects, and at their controls.
Man, more divine, the masters of all these,
Lord of the wide world and wild wat’ry seas,
Indued with intellectual sense and souls,
Of more pre-eminence than fish and fowls,
Are masters to their females, and their lords:
Then let your will attend on their accords.

William Shakespeare "The Comedy of Errors"

If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman: so you shall put away the evil from Israel.

Deuteronomy 22:22

Fie, fie! unknit that threatening unkind brow,
And dart not scornful glances from those eyes
To wound thy lord, thy king, thy governor:
It blots thy beauty as frosts do bite the meads,
Confounds thy fame as whirlwinds shake fair buds,
And in no sense is meet or amiable.
A woman mov'd is like a fountain troubled,
Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty;
And while it is so, none so dry or thirsty
Will deign to sip or touch one drop of it.
Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper,
Thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee,
And for thy maintenance commits his body
To painful labour both by sea and land,
To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,
Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe;
And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks, and true obedience;
Too little payment for so great a debt.
Such duty as the subject owes the prince,
Even such a woman oweth to her husband;
And when she is froward, peevish, sullen, sour,
And not obedient to his honest will,
What is she but a foul contending rebel
And graceless traitor to her loving lord?—
I am asham'd that women are so simple
To offer war where they should kneel for peace,
Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway,
When they are bound to serve, love, and obey.
Why are our bodies soft and weak and smooth,
Unapt to toil and trouble in the world,
But that our soft conditions and our hearts
Should well agree with our external parts?
Come, come, you froward and unable worms!
My mind hath been as big as one of yours,
My heart as great, my reason haply more,
To bandy word for word and frown for frown;
But now I see our lances are but straws,
Our strength as weak, our weakness past compare,
That seeming to be most which we indeed least are.
Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot,
And place your hands below your husband's foot:
In token of which duty, if he please,
My hand is ready; may it do him ease.

William Shakespeare "The Taming of the Shrew"

There is nothing so inspiring to a man as a beautiful woman.

John Eldredge

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than to share a house with a contentious woman.

Proverbs 25:24

For a prostitute is a deep pit; and a wayward wife is a narrow well.

Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, and increases the unfaithful among men.

Proverbs 23:27-28

Commend not a man for his beauty; And abhor not a man for his outward appearance.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 11:2

Give not your soul to a woman, That she should set her foot upon your strength.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 9:2

Forgo not a wise and good wife; For her grace is above gold.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 7:19

Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.
She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
She seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands.
She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.
She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and portions for her servant girls.
She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.
She arms her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong.
She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn't go out by night.
She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them, and delivers sashes to the merchant.
Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom. Faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn't eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:
"Many women do noble things, but you excel them all."
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!

Proverbs 31:10-31

A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike: restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.

Proverbs 27:15-16

But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

The First Book of Kings 21:25

But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband: "then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, "Yahweh make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell; and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away."

Numbers 5:20-22

The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

Leviticus 20:10

I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.

Ecclesiastes 7:26

7 A wicked woman is as a yoke of oxen shaken to and fro:
He that takes hold of her is as one that grasps a scorpion.
8 A drunken woman causes great wrath;
And she will not cover her own shame.
9 The whoredom of a woman is in the lifting up of her eyes;
And it will be known by her eyelids.
10 Keep strict watch on a headstrong daughter,
Lest she find liberty for herself, and use it.
11 Look well after an impudent eye;
And marvel not if it trespass against you.
12 She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller,
And drink of every water that is near:
She will sit down at every post,
And open her quiver against any arrow.
13 The grace of a wife will delight her husband;
And her knowledge will fatten his bones.
14 A silent woman is a gift of the Lord;
And there is nothing so much worth as a well-instructed soul.
15 A shamefast woman is grace upon grace;
And there is no † price worthy of a continent soul.
16 As the sun when it arises in the highest places of the Lord,
So is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of ‡ a man’s house.
17 As the lamp that shines upon the holy candlestick,
So is the beauty of the face in ripe age.
18 As the golden pillars are upon a base of silver,
So are beautiful feet with the breasts of one that is stedfast. 19-27 §

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 26:7-27

Happy is the husband of a good wife; And the number of his days will be twofold.
A brave woman rejoices her husband; And he will fulfil his years in peace.
A good wife is a good portion: She will be given in the portion of such as fear the Lord.
Whether a man be rich or poor, A good heart makes at all times a cheerful countenance.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 26:1-4

The beauty of a woman cheers the countenance;
And a man desires nothing so much.
If there is on her tongue mercy and meekness,
Her husband is not like the sons of men.
He that gets a wife enters upon a possession:
A help meet for him, and a pillar of rest.
Where no hedge is, the possession will be laid waste:
And he that has no wife will mourn as he wanders up and down.

Sirach 36:22-25

{2:13}This again you do: you cover the altar of Yahweh with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, because he doesn't regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand.
{2:14}Yet you say, 'Why?' Because Yahweh has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant.
{2:15}Did he not make you one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
{2:16}For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!" says Yahweh of Armies. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you don't deal treacherously.

Malachi 2:13-16

It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a contentious and fretful woman.

Proverbs 21:19

Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh.

Proverbs 18:22

I will marry only a man who loves God more than me!

Nothing inspires a man like a beautiful woman.

A man wants to be the hero of a beautiful woman.

Not every woman wants to fight, but each one wants to be fought for. Listen to the pursuit of a woman's heart: she doesn't simply want to be noticed - she wants to be desired. She wants to be wanted.

Every woman wants to open herself as a beautiful woman... There is a deep desire to simply and truly be beautiful, and to cause admiration by this.

A woman should know that she is beautiful, that she is worth to be fought for.

Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Helen of Troy, Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra, Arthur and Guenevere, Tristan and Isolde. Theme of a strong man, who comes to rescue a beautiful woman, is universal to human nature - from the time of ancient fairy tales to modern popular movies. It is imprinted in our heart, and is one of the deepest desires of every man and every woman.

John Eldredge (From the Wild at Heart book)

A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.
