Sirach 25:8-10
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
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.
10 How great is one who finds wisdom!
But none is superior to one who fears the Lord.
