Wisdom of Ben Sira 26:15-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ A modest wife is the choicest of blessings;
    no scales can weigh the worth of her chastity.
¹⁶ Like the sun rising in the heavens of the Lord
    is the beauty of a virtuous wife in a well-managed home.
¹⁷ Like the light shining on the sacred lampstand
    is a beautiful face on a stately figure.
¹⁸ Like golden pillars on silver bases
    are shapely legs and steadfast feet.^[a]
