Ben Sira 26:13

Listen to Ben Sira 26:13
13 A wife's charm delights her husband, and her skill puts fat on his bones.

Ben Sira 26:13 In-Context

11 Be on guard against her impudent eye, and do not wonder if she sins against you.
12 As a thirsty wayfarer opens his mouth and drinks from any water near him, so will she sit in front of every post and open her quiver to the arrow.
13 A wife's charm delights her husband, and her skill puts fat on his bones.
14 A silent wife is a gift of the Lord, and there is nothing so precious as a disciplined soul.
15 A modest wife adds charm to charm, and no balance can weigh the value of a chaste soul.
