    Happy are those
    who live with sensible wives,[a]
    who don’t slip with their tongue,
    and who haven’t been a servant to one inferior to themselves.
    Happy is the one
    who has gained good sense
        and who is passing this along
        to listening ears.
10     How great is one who finds Wisdom,
        but no one does better
        than the one who fears the Lord.
