Sirach 26:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ After you have chosen a fertile plot
out of every field,
    sow your own seed,
    being confident of your
    excellent descent.
²¹ Thus your offspring who surround you
    and who have confidence
    in their excellent descent,
    will become great.
²² A hired woman will be considered
the same as spit,
    but a married woman will be considered a tower of death to those who associate too closely with her.
