Sirach 25:7-9

Revised Standard Version

⁷ With nine thoughts I have gladdened my heart,
    and a tenth I shall tell with my tongue:
a man rejoicing in his children;
    a man who lives to see the downfall of his foes;
⁸ happy is he who lives with an intelligent wife,
    and he who has not made a slip with his tongue,
    and he who has not served a man inferior to himself;
⁹ happy is he who has gained good sense,
    and he who speaks to attentive listeners.
