In context
12She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveler when he hath found a fountain, And drink of every water near her: By every hedge will she sit down, And open her quiver against every arrow.
13The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, And her discretion will fatten his bones.
— Sirach 26:14 —
15A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, And her continent mind cannot be valued.
16As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven; So is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house.
