Ecclesiasticus 15:1-5 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. HE that feareth God, will do good: and he that possesseth justice, shall lay hold on her,

2. And she will meet him as an honourable mother, and will receive him as a wife married of a virgin.

3. With the bread of life and understanding, she shall feed him, and give him the water of wholesome wisdom to drink: and she shall be made strong in him, and he shall not be moved:

4. And she shall hold him fast, and he shall not be confounded: and she shall exalt him among his neighbours.

5. And in the midst of the church she shall open his mouth, and shall fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and shall clothe him with a robe of glory.
