Wisdom of Ben Sira 26:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² As a thirsty traveler will open his mouth
    and drink from any water source that he comes across,
so she will settle down in front of every tent-peg
    and open her quiver to any arrow.
¹³ A gracious wife delights her husband,
    and her thoughtfulness puts flesh on his bones.
¹⁴ A silent wife is a gift from the Lord;
    her disciplined virtue is of surpassing value.
