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.

On integrity

28 My heart has been saddened
by two things,
        and I was made angry because of a third:
    a warrior who is needy
    and impoverished,
    intelligent people who are treated
    with contempt,
    and people who are turned
    from righteousness to sin—
        the Lord will prepare them
        for the sword.
