Ben Sira 36:24

24 He that getteth a wife beginneth a possession, a helper like unto himself, and a pillar of rest.

Ben Sira 36:24 In-Context

22 The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance, and a man loveth nothing better.

23 If there be kindness, meekness, and comfort in her tongue, then is not her husband like other men.

24 He that getteth a wife beginneth a possession, a helper like unto himself, and a pillar of rest.

25 Where no hedge is, there the possession is despoiled; and he that hath no wife will wander up and down mourning.

26 Who will trust a thief well-appointed that skippeth from city to city? So who will believe a man that hath no house, and lodgeth wheresoever the night taketh him?
