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.
