Sirach 7:19-21
Revised Standard Version
19 Do not deprive yourself of a wise and good wife,
for her charm is worth more than gold.
20 Do not abuse a servant who performs his work faithfully,
or a hired laborer who devotes himself to you.
21 Let your soul love[a] an intelligent servant;
do not withhold from him his freedom.
