Wisdom of Ben Sira 26:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 Be on the lookout for her imprudent glance,
and do not be surprised if she disgraces you.
12 As a thirsty traveler will open his mouth
and drink from any water source that he comes across,
so she will settle down in front of every tent-peg
and open her quiver to any arrow.
13 A gracious wife delights her husband,
and her thoughtfulness puts flesh on his bones.
