Ben Sira 25:7

7 With nine thoughts I have gladdened my heart, and a tenth I shall tell with my tongue: a man rejoicing in his children; a man who lives to see the downfall of his foes;

Ben Sira 25:7 In-Context

5 How attractive is wisdom in the aged, and understanding and counsel in honorable men!

6 Rich experience is the crown of the aged, and their boast is the fear of the Lord.

7 With nine thoughts I have gladdened my heart, and a tenth I shall tell with my tongue: a man rejoicing in his children; a man who lives to see the downfall of his foes;

8 happy is he who lives with an intelligent wife, and he who has not made a slip with his tongue, and he who has not served a man inferior to himself;

9 happy is he who has gained good sense, and he who speaks to attentive listeners.
