“A bad wife is
Like a chafing yoke.
Taking hold of her is
Like grasping a scorpion.
A drunken wife
Arouses great anger.
She cannot hide her shame.
The haughty stare betrays
An unchaste wife.
Her eyelids give her away.”
Oh, oh, we are back to the evil bad wife. She is like a chafing yoke, which was put on oxen. Holding her was like trying to grab a scorpion. Now she is also a drunkard, as if no husbands were ever drunkards. This over indulging wife brings anger and shame. You can tell that she is an unchaste wife by her eyelids. Watch out for those eyelids!
