Sirach 26:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ And no price is worthy of a continent soul.

²¹ As the sun when it riseth to the world in the high places of God, so is the beauty of a good wife for the ornament of her house.

²² As the lamp shining upon the holy candlestick, so is the beauty of the face in a ripe age.
