Proverbs30:23
23 For an odious woman when she is married , and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress .
Proud, and perverse, and full of hateful and offensive qualities.
For then she displayeth, and exerciseth all those ill humours, which before for her own ends she concealed, then she is puffed up, and imperious, and becomes intollerable to her own Family, and to her Relations and Neighbours.
That possesseth her Estate, either by the gift of her Mistress, into whose Favour she had insinuated her self by her cunning and officious carriage: or rather by the marriage of her Master, which great and sudden change transports her beside her self, and makes her insufferably proud, and scornful, and injurious to all that converse with her.
