Sirach 7:17-19
Common English Bible

17 Humble your whole being
as much as possible,
    because fire and worms
    are the punishment of the ungodly.

Household, priests, and the poor

18 Don’t trade a friend for cash
    or a genuine friend for the gold of Ophir.
19 Don’t neglect[a] a wise and good wife,
    for her grace is worth more than gold.
