Sirach 26:2-15
-
2 A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and he shall fulfil the years of his life in peace.
-
3 A good wife is a good portion, which shall be given in the portion of them that fear the Lord.
-
4 Whether a man be rich or poor, if he have a good heart toward the Lord, he shall at all times rejoice with a cheerful countenance.
-
5 There be three things that mine heart feareth; and for the fourth I was sore afraid: the slander of a city, the gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a false accusation: all these are worse than death.
-
6 But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.
-
7 An evil wife is a yoke shaken to and fro: he that hath hold of her is as though he held a scorpion.
-
8 A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, and she will not cover her own shame.
-
9 The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids.
-
10 If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty.
-
11 Watch over an impudent eye: and marvel not if she trespass against thee.
-
12 She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her: by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.
-
13 The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
-
14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord; and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed.
-
15 A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.
