Sirach 40:23-25
Revised Standard Version
23 A friend or a companion never meets one amiss,
but a wife with her husband is better than both.
24 Brothers and help are for a time of trouble,
but almsgiving rescues better than both.
25 Gold and silver make the foot stand sure,
but good counsel is esteemed more than both.
