Sirach 36:27-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
27 A woman’s beauty lights up a man’s face,
and there is nothing he desires more.(A)
28 If kindness and humility mark her speech,
her husband is more fortunate than other men.(B)
29 He who acquires a wife gets his best possession,[a]
a helper fit for him and a pillar of support.[b](C)
