Wisdom of Ben Sira 36:29-31

New Catholic Bible

²⁹ A wife is her husband’s greatest treasure,
    a suitable helper for him and a pillar to provide support.
³⁰ Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered;
    when a man has no wife, he wanders about aimlessly and in misery.
³¹ Who will trust an armed thief
    who shifts quickly from city to city?
