Sirach 36:23-25
Revised Standard Version
23 If kindness and humility mark her speech,
her husband is not like other men.
24 He who acquires a wife gets his best possession,[a]
a helper fit for him and a pillar of support.[b]
25 Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered;
and where there is no wife, a man will wander about and sigh.
