Ben Sira 36:29-31 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

29. A wife is her husband’s richest treasure,a help like himself and a staunch support.

30. A vineyard with no hedge will be overrun;and a man with no wife becomes a homeless wanderer.

31. Who will trust an armed bandthat shifts from city to city?Or a man who has no nest,who lodges wherever night overtakes him?
