Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 25:8

μακάριος ὁ συνοικῶν γυναικὶ συνετῇ, καὶ ὃς ἐν γλώσσῃ οὐκ ὠλίσθησε, καὶ ὃς οὐκ ἐδούλευσεν ἀναξίῳ αὐτοῦ·
King James Version (KJV)

Well is him that dwelleth with a wife of understanding, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served a man more unworthy than himself:

Modern English

happy is the one who lives with a sensible wife, who has not stumbled with his tongue, and who has not served a master less worthy than himself.
