Ben Sira 26:4

Listen to Ben Sira 26:4
4 Whether rich or poor, his heart is content, and at all times his face is cheerful.

Ben Sira 26:4 In-Context

2 A loyal wife brings joy to 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 content, and at all times his face is cheerful.
5 Of three things my heart is frightened, and of a fourth I am in great fear: Slander in the city, the gathering of a mob, and false accusation -- all these are worse than death.
6 But it is heartache and sorrow when a wife is jealous of a rival, and a tongue-lashing makes it known to all.
