Ecclesiasticus 26:17 Context
15A shamefast and faithfull woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued. 16As the Sunne when it ariseth in the high heauen: so is the beautie of a good wife in the ordering of her house. 17As the cleare light is vpon the holy candlesticke: so is the beautie of the face in ripe age. 18As the golden pillars are vpon the sockets of siluer: so are the faire feete with a constant heart. 19My sonne, keepe the flowre of thine age sound: and giue not thy strength to strangers.
