Ben Sira 26:16

16 The beauty of a good wife in her well-kept home is like the noonday sun shining in the Lord's sky.

Ben Sira 26:16 In-Context

14 A wife who doesn't talk too much is a gift from the Lord. Such restraint is admirable beyond words.

15 A modest wife has endless charm; it is a quality too precious to measure.

16 The beauty of a good wife in her well-kept home is like the noonday sun shining in the Lord's sky.

17 Her beautiful face and attractive figure are as lovely as the light from the sacred lampstand in the Temple,

18 and like its gold shaft set on its silver base are her shapely legs and strong ankles. ,
