Sirach 25:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁷ I can think of nine whom I would call blessed,
    and a tenth my tongue proclaims:
a man who can rejoice in his children;
    a man who lives to see the downfall of his foes.
⁸ Happy the man who lives with a sensible wife,
    and one who does not plough with ox and ass together.^[a]
Happy is one who does not sin with the tongue,
    and one who has not served an inferior.
⁹ Happy is one who finds a friend,^[b]
    and one who speaks to attentive listeners.
