Sirach 26:3-5

Common English Bible

³ A good wife is a great blessing.
    The one who fears the Lord will receive her as part of his God-given portion.
⁴ Whether in poverty or in wealth,
his heart is happy;
    at every moment he has a cheerful face.

⁵ My heart was cautious about three things,
        and I was fearful
        in the face of a fourth—
    slander in a city,
    the gathering of a mob,
    and a false accusation—
        all of these are more miserable
        than death.
