Ben Sira 26:14

14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord, and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed.

Ben Sira 26:14 In-Context

12 She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveler when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her; by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.
13 The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord, and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed.
15 A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.
16 As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven, so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house.
