Sirach 26:13-18
A gracious wife is her husband's delight;
her abilities make him a stronger man.
A wife who doesn't talk too much
is a gift from the Lord.
Such restraint is admirable beyond words.
A modest wife has endless charm;
it is a quality too precious to measure.
The beauty of a good wife
in her well-kept home is like the
noonday sun shining in the Lord's sky.
Her beautiful face and attractive figure are
as lovely as the light
from the sacred lampstand in the Temple,
and like its gold shaft set on its silver base are
her shapely legs and strong ankles.
