Ben Sira 26:16

16 Like the sun rising in the heights of the Lord, so is the beauty of a good wife in her well-ordered home.

Ben Sira 26:16 In-Context

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.

16 Like the sun rising in the heights of the Lord, so is the beauty of a good wife in her well-ordered home.

17 Like the shining lamp on the holy lampstand, so is a beautiful face on a stately figure.

18 Like pillars of gold on a base of silver, so are beautiful feet with a steadfast heart.
