Ben Sira 36:28

Listen to Ben Sira 36:28
28 If kindness and humility mark her speech, her husband is more fortunate than other men.

Ben Sira 36:28 In-Context

26 A woman will accept any man as a husband, but one girl is preferable to another.
27 A woman's beauty lights up a man's face, and there is nothing he desires more.
28 If kindness and humility mark her speech, her husband is more fortunate than other men.
29 He who acquires a wife gets his best possession, a helper fit for him and a pillar of support.
30 Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered; and where there is no wife, a man will become a fugitive and a wanderer.
