1esd 4:25
King James Version
“Wherefore a man loveth his wife better than father or mother.”
Context
22By this also ye must know that women have dominion over you: do ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all to the woman?
23Yea, a man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers;
24And looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness; and when he hath stolen, spoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to his love.
25Wherefore a man loveth his wife better than father or mother.
26Yea, many there be that have run out of their wits for women, and become servants for their sakes.
27Many also have perished, have erred, and sinned, for women.
28And now do ye not believe me? is not the king great in his power? do not all regions fear to touch him?
