Sirach 26:26-28

Common English Bible

²⁶A wife who honors her own husband will appear wise to everyone,
    but the wife who dishonors her husband with arrogance
    will be known to all as ungodly.
The husband of a good wife is happy,
    for the number of his years will double.
²⁷A loudmouthed and talkative wife
        is like a battle trumpet
        sounding an attack.
    The spirit of the man
    who lives under such conditions
        lives perpetually in the chaos
        of the battlefield.

On integrity

²⁸My heart has been saddened
by two things,
        and I was made angry because of a third:
    a warrior who is needy
    and impoverished,
    intelligent people who are treated
    with contempt,
    and people who are turned
    from righteousness to sin—
        the Lord will prepare them
        for the sword.
