Ben Sira 7:19

Listen to Ben Sira 7:19
19 Do not deprive yourself of a wise and good wife, for her charm is worth more than gold.

Ben Sira 7:19 In-Context

17 Humble yourself greatly, for the punishment of the ungodly is fire and worms.
18 Do not exchange a friend for money, or a real brother for the gold of Ophir.
19 Do not deprive yourself of a wise and good wife, for her charm is worth more than gold.
20 Do not abuse a servant who performs his work faithfully, or a hired laborer who devotes himself to you.
21 Let your soul love an intelligent servant; do not withhold from him his freedom.
