Wisdom of Ben Sira 36:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ A woman’s beauty causes a man’s face to light up,
    and there is nothing a man desires more.
²⁸ And if, perchance, her speech is kind and gentle,
    her husband is the most fortunate of men.
²⁹ A wife is her husband’s greatest treasure,
    a suitable helper for him and a pillar to provide support.
