BrLXX Καρδία ταπεινὴ καὶ πρόσωπον σκυθρωπὸν καὶ πληγὴ καρδίας γυνὴ πονηρά· χεῖρες παρειμέναι καὶ γόνατα παραλελυμένα, ἥτις οὐ μακαριεῖ τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς.
(Kardia tapeinaʸ kai prosōpon skuthrōpon kai plaʸgaʸ kardias gunaʸ ponaʸra; ⱪeires pareimenai kai gonata paralelumena, haʸtis ou makariei ton andra autaʸs. )

BrTr A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy countenance and a wounded heart: a woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.

WEBBE A wicked woman is abasement of heart,
⇔ sadness of countenance, and a wounded heart.
⇔ A woman who won’t make her husband happy
⇔ is like hands that hang down, and weak knees.

KJB-1611 A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh a heauie countenance, and a wounded heart: a woman that will not comfort her husband in distresse maketh weake hands, and feeble knees.
