Sirach 36:28-30
Common English Bible
28 If her speech is characterized
by mercy and gentleness,
her husband is unlike anyone else.
29 Whoever acquires a wife
takes his first step toward success.[a]
She will be a fit helper for him
and a pillar of rest.[b]
30 Where no fence exists,
the property is carried off,
and where there’s no wife,
a man sighs as he wanders about.[c]
