Sirach 26:1–4

1 Happy is the husband of a good wife;

the number of his days will be doubled.

2 A loyal wife rejoices her husband,

and he will complete his years in peace.

3 A good wife is a great blessing;

she will be granted among the blessings of the man who fears the Lord.

4 Whether rich or poor, his heart is glad,

and at all times his face is cheerful.
