Ecclesiasticus 36:22

Ecclesiasticus 36:22 Context

¹⁹As the palate tasteth divers kinds of venison: so doth an heart of understanding false speeches. ²⁰A froward heart causeth heaviness: but a man of experience will recompense him. ²¹A woman will receive every man, yet is one daughter better than another. ²²The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance, and a man loveth nothing better. ²³If there be kindness, meekness, and comfort, in her tongue, then is not her husband like other men. ²⁴He that getteth a wife beginneth a possession, a help like unto himself, and a pillar of rest. ²⁵Where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled: and he that hath no wife will wander up and down mourning.
