Sirach 36:29-31

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁹ He who acquires a wife gets his best possession,^[a]
    a helper fit for him and a pillar of support.^[b]
30 Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered;
    and where there is no wife, a man will become a fugitive and a wanderer.^[c]
31 For who will trust a nimble robber
    that skips from city to city?
So who will trust a man that has no nest,
    but lodges wherever night overtakes him?
