Sirach 40:23-25
Common English Bible
23 A friend and a companion encounter
each other at an opportune moment,
but better than both
is a woman with her husband.
24 Relatives and help
in a time of distress are good,[a]
but acts of charity
will rescue one better than both.
25 Gold and silver make one stand firm,
but more highly esteemed than both
is good advice.
