26 The husband of a good wife
is favored,
    and the length of his life will be doubled.
² A courageous wife
will make her husband happy,
    and he will complete his years in peace.

²⁷ A loudmouthed and talkative wife
        is like a battle trumpet
        sounding an attack.
    The spirit of the man
    who lives under such conditions
        lives perpetually in the chaos
        of the battlefield.
