Ben Sira 26:13

13 The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.

Ben Sira 26:13 In-Context

11 Watch over an impudent eye, and marvel not if she trespass against thee.
12 She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveler 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.
13 The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord, and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed.
15 A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.
