Sirach 36:21-25

{36:21} The palate tests the meat of wild animals, and the understanding heart tests false words.
{36:22} A corrupt heart will cause grief, and a man of experience will resist it.
{36:23} A woman can receive any male, yet one daughter is better than another.
{36:24} The beauty of a wife cheers the face of her husband, and rises above his desire, above all the desires of man.
{36:25} If she offers healing words, then she both comforts and shows mercy; and so her husband is not like other men.
