Sirach 26:12-14
Wycliffe Bible

13 The grace of a busy woman shall delight her husband; and shall make fat his bones. [The grace of a busy woman shall delight her man; and the bones of him she shall fatten.]
14 The cunning (or the knowing) of her is the gift of God. A wise woman and a still (one) is not changing of a learned soul. [The discipline of her is the gift of God. A well-feeling woman and a still is not the changing of the taught soul.]
