In context
2A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, And he shall fulfill the years of his life in peace.
3A good wife is a good portion, Which shall be given in the portion of them that fear the Lord.
— Sirach 26:4 —
5There be three things that my heart feareth; And for the fourth I was sore afraid: The slander of a city, the gathering together of an unruly multitude, And a false accusation: all these are worse than death.
6But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman, And a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.
