Ecclesiasticus 26:15

Ecclesiasticus 26:15 Context

¹²She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her: by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow. ¹³The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones. ¹⁴A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord; and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed. ¹⁵A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued. ¹⁶As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven; so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house. ¹⁷As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick; so is the beauty of the face in ripe age. ¹⁸As the golden pillars are upon the sockets of silver; so are the fair feet with a constant heart.
