Sirach 36:24-26

Revised Standard Version

²⁴ He who acquires a wife gets his best possession,^[a]
    a helper fit for him and a pillar of support.^[b]
25 Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered;
    and where there is no wife, a man will wander about and sigh.
²⁶ For who will trust a nimble robber
    that skips from city to city?
So who will trust a man that has no home,
    and lodges wherever night finds him?
