Ecclesiasticus 36:24 Context
22The beautie of a woman cheareth the countenance, and a man loueth nothing better. 23If there be kindnesse, meekenes, and comfort in her tongue, then is not her husband like other men. 24He that getteth a wife, beginneth a possession, a helpe like vnto himselfe, and a pillar of rest. 25Where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled: and he that hath no wife will wander vp and downe mourning. 26Who will trust a thiefe well appointed, that skippeth from citie to citie? so [who will beleeue] a man that hath no house? and lodgeth wheresoeuer the night taketh him?
