Ecclesiasticus 26:16 Context
14A silent and louing woman is a gift of the Lord, and there is nothing so much worth, as a mind well instructed. 15A shamefast and faithfull woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued. 16As the Sunne when it ariseth in the high heauen: so is the beautie of a good wife in the ordering of her house. 17As the cleare light is vpon the holy candlesticke: so is the beautie of the face in ripe age. 18As the golden pillars are vpon the sockets of siluer: so are the faire feete with a constant heart.
