New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 Happy the man who lives with a sensible wife
and who does not plow with ox and ass together,[a]
who does not slip with the tongue
and who has not become enslaved to an inferior.(A)
9 Happy is the one who finds good sense
and the one who speaks to attentive listeners.(B)
10 How great is the one who finds wisdom!
But none is superior to the one who fears the Lord.(C)
