Sirach 25:8-10
Wycliffe Bible
8 He is blessed that dwelleth with a witty (or with a wise) woman, and he that fell not by his tongue, and he that served not to men unworthy to himself. [Blessful or Blissful that dwelleth with a woman well feeling, or well perceiving, and that in his tongue is not slidden, and that served not to the unworthy (to) himself.]
9 He is blessed that findeth a very (or a true) friend, and he that telleth out rightfulness to an ear hearing. [Blessful or Blissful that findeth a very friend, and that telleth out rightwiseness to the hearing ear.]
10 He is full great that findeth wisdom and cunning (or knowing); but he is not above him that dreadeth God[a]. [How great that findeth wisdom and cunning; but not over the (one) dreading God.]
