1. Blessed is the husband of a good wife. For the number of his years is doubled.
2. A good wife delights her husband, and she will fill up the years of his life with peace.
3. A good wife is a good portion. She will be given the portion of those who fear God, like a man who has done good deeds.
4. But, rich or poor, with a good heart, his countenance will be cheerful at all times.
5. Of three things, my heart has been afraid, and at a fourth, my face has shown dread:
6. an accusation made by a city, and the gathering of a mob,
7. and a deceitful false accusation. All these are more grievous than death.
