Sirach 36:28-30
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
28 If kindness and humility mark her speech,
her husband is more fortunate than other men.
29 He who acquires a wife gets his best possession,[a]
a helper fit for him and a pillar of support.[b]
30 Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered;
and where there is no wife, a man will become a fugitive and a wanderer.[c]
