1 Esdras

1 Esdras 4:14

οὐ μέγας ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πολλοὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι καὶ ὁ οἶνος ἰσχύει; τίς οὖν ὁ δεσπόζων αὐτῶν ἢ τίς ὁ κυριεύων αὐτῶν; οὐχ αἱ γυναῖκες;
King James Version (KJV)

O ye men, it is not the great king, nor the multitude of men, neither is it wine, that excelleth; who is it then that ruleth them, or hath the lordship over them? are they not women?

Modern English

"Gentlemen, it is not the great king, nor the multitude of men, nor wine that is strongest — so who is it that rules them and has power over them? Is it not women?
