Sirach 26:3-5
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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.
The Worst of Evils: A Wicked Wife
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.
