1 Happy is the husband of a good wife; And the number of his days shall be twofold.
2 A brave woman rejoices her husband; And he shall fulfil his years in peace.
3 A good wife is a good portion: She shall be given in the portion of such as fear the Lord.
4 Whether a man be rich or poor, A good heart makes at all times a cheerful countenance.
5 Of three things my heart was afraid; And concerning the fourth kind I made supplication: The slander of a city, and the assembly of a multitude, and a false accusation: All these are more grievous than death.
