Wisdom of Ben Sira 26:25-27
New Catholic Bible
25 A headstrong woman is looked upon as no better than a dog,
but one who is modest fears the Lord.
26 A woman who honors her husband is thought of as wise by all,
but if she dishonors him, others will regard her as proud and ungodly.
Blessed is the husband of a good wife,
for she doubles the length of his life.
27 A loud-mouthed, garrulous wife can be regarded
as a battle trumpet sounding the charge.
Any husband who responds to that summons
will live a life marked by the turbulence of war.]
