Ecclesiasticus 26:18

Ecclesiasticus 26:18 Context

¹⁵A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued. ¹⁶As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven; so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house. ¹⁷As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick; so is the beauty of the face in ripe age. ¹⁸As the golden pillars are upon the sockets of silver; so are the fair feet with a constant heart. ¹⁹My son, keep the flower of thine age sound; and give not thy strength to strangers. ²⁰When thou hast gotten a fruitful possession through all the field, sow it with thine own seed, trusting in the goodness of thy stock. ²¹So thy race which thou leavest shall be magnified, having the confidence of their good descent.
