Sirach 36:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance of her husband, and a man desireth nothing more.

²⁵ If she have a tongue that can cure, and likewise mitigate and shew mercy: her husband is not like other men.

²⁶ He that possesseth a good wife, beginneth a possession: she is a help like to himself, and a pillar of rest.
