Sirach 26
- 1 Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous wife, for the number of his days shall be double.
- 2 A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and he shall fulfil the years of his life in peace.
- 3 A good wife is a good portion, which shall be given in the portion of them that fear the Lord.
- 4 Whether a man be rich or poor, if he have a good heart toward the Lord, he shall at all times rejoice with a cheerful countenance.
- 5 There be three things that mine heart feareth; and for the fourth I was sore afraid: the slander of a city, the gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a false accusation: all these are worse than death.
- 6 But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.
- 7 An evil wife is a yoke shaken to and fro: he that hath hold of her is as though he held a scorpion.
- 8 A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, and she will not cover her own shame.
- 9 The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids.
- 10 If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty.
- 11 Watch over an impudent eye: and marvel not if she trespass against thee.
- 12 She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her: by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.
- 13 The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
- 14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord; and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed.
- 15 A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.
- 16 As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven; so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house.
- 17 As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick; so is the beauty of the face in ripe age.
- 18 As the golden pillars are upon the sockets of silver; so are the fair feet with a constant heart.
- 19 My son, keep the flower of thine age sound; and give not thy strength to strangers.
- 20 When thou hast gotten a fruitful possession through all the field, sow it with thine own seed, trusting in the goodness of thy stock.
- 21 So thy race which thou leavest shall be magnified, having the confidence of their good descent.
- 22 An harlot shall be accounted as spittle; but a married woman is a tower against death to her husband.
- 23 A wicked woman is given as a portion to a wicked man: but a godly woman is given to him that feareth the Lord.
- 24 A dishonest woman contemneth shame: but an honest woman will reverence her husband.
- 25 A shameless woman shall be counted as a dog; but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord.
- 26 A woman that honoureth her husband shall be judged wise of all; but she that dishonoureth him in her pride shall be counted ungodly of all.
- 27 A loud crying woman and a scold shall be sought out to drive away the enemies.
- 28 There be two things that grieve my heart; and the third maketh me angry: a man of war that suffereth poverty; and men of understanding that are not set by; and one that returneth from righteousness to sin; the Lord prepareth such an one for the sword.
- 29 A merchant shall hardly keep himself from doing wrong; and an huckster shall not be freed from sin.

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology and CatchWords, including Apocrypha (without glosses) (kjva - 3.1)
2023-07-19English (en)
This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.
Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.
