Sirach 26:25-27

Common English Bible

²⁵ An unruly wife will be thought of
as a dog,
    but the wife who feels shame
    will fear the Lord.
²⁶ A wife who honors her own husband will appear wise to everyone,
    but the wife who dishonors her husband with arrogance
    will be known to all as ungodly.
The husband of a good wife is happy,
    for the number of his years will double.
²⁷ A loudmouthed and talkative wife
        is like a battle trumpet
        sounding an attack.
    The spirit of the man
    who lives under such conditions
        lives perpetually in the chaos
        of the battlefield.
