Happy the man who lives with a sensible wife,
    and the one who does not plow with ox and ass together.[a]
Happy is the one who does not sin with the tongue,
    and the one who has not served an inferior.
Happy is the one who finds a friend,[b]
    and the one who speaks to attentive listeners.
10 How great is the one who finds wisdom!
    But none is superior to the one who fears the Lord.
