Sirach 40:19-21

Revised Standard Version

¹⁹ Children and the building of a city establish a man’s name,
    but a blameless wife is accounted better than both.
²⁰ Wine and music gladden the heart,
    but the love of wisdom is better than both.
²¹ The flute and the harp make pleasant melody,
    but a pleasant voice is better than both.
