Sirach 36:29-31
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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]
31 For who will trust a nimble robber
that skips from city to city?
So who will trust a man that has no nest,
but lodges wherever night overtakes him?
