Sirach 36:24-26
Revised Standard Version
Sirach 36:24-26
Revised Standard Version
24 He who acquires a wife gets his best possession,[a]
a helper fit for him and a pillar of support.[b]
25 Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered;
and where there is no wife, a man will wander about and sigh.
26 For who will trust a nimble robber
that skips from city to city?
So who will trust a man that has no home,
and lodges wherever night finds him?
