Sirach 40:22-24
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
22 The eye desires grace and beauty,
but the green shoots of grain more than either.
23 A friend or companion is always welcome,
but a sensible wife[a] is better than either.
24 Kindred and helpers are for a time of trouble,
but almsgiving rescues better than either.
