Sirach 26:3-5

Revised Standard Version

³ A good wife is a great blessing;
    she will be granted among the blessings of the man who fears the Lord.
⁴ Whether rich or poor, his heart is glad,
    and at all times his face is cheerful.

⁵ Of three things my heart is afraid,
    and of a fourth I am frightened:^[a]
The slander of a city, the gathering of a mob,
    and false accusation—all these are worse than death.
