Sirach 26:1 In-Context

1 The husband of a good wife is favored, and the length of his life will be doubled.

2 A courageous wife will make her husband happy, and he will complete his years in peace.

3 A good wife is a great blessing. The one who fears the Lord will receive her as part of his God-given portion.

4 Whether in poverty or in wealth, his heart is happy; at every moment he has a cheerful face.

5 My heart was cautious about three things, and I was fearful in the face of a fourth— slander in a city, the gathering of a mob, and a false accusation— all of these are more miserable than death.
