Ben Sira 26:16

16 As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven, so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house.

Ben Sira 26:16 In-Context

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.

16 As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven, so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house.

17 As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick, so is the beauty of the face in ripe age.

18 As the golden pillars are upon the sockets of silver, so are the fair feet with a constant heart.
