Ecclesiasticus 26:12 Context
10If thy daughter be shamelesse, keepe her in straitly: lest she abuse her selfe through ouermuch libertie. 11Watch ouer an impudent eye: and marueile not, if shee trespasse against thee. 12Shee will open her mouth as a thirstie traueiler, when he hath found a fountaine: and drinke of euery water neere her: by euery hedge will she sit downe, and open her quiuer against euery arrow. 13The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fat his bones. 14A silent and louing woman is a gift of the Lord, and there is nothing so much worth, as a mind well instructed.
