Sirach 40:23-25
Good News Translation
23 You can't go wrong with a good friend or neighbor, but an intelligent wife is[a] better than either.
24 Relatives and helpers are good to have in times of trouble, but it will be an even greater help if you have made a practice of giving to the poor.
25 Gold and silver provide security, but good advice is better.
