Wisdom of Ben Sira 36:28-30

New Catholic Bible

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.
³⁰ Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered;
    when a man has no wife, he wanders about aimlessly and in misery.
