Sirach 26:25-27
Common English Bible
25 An unruly wife will be thought of
as a dog,
but the wife who feels shame
will fear the Lord.
26 A wife who honors her own husband will appear wise to everyone,
but the wife who dishonors her husband with arrogance
will be known to all as ungodly.
The husband of a good wife is happy,
for the number of his years will double.
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.
