Sirach 36:23 CPDV

²¹  The palate tests the meat of wild animals, and the understanding heart tests false words.

²²  A corrupt heart will cause grief, and a man of experience will resist it.

²³  A woman can receive any male, yet one daughter is better than another.

²⁴  The beauty of a wife cheers the face of her husband, and rises above his desire, above all the desires of man.

²⁵  If she offers healing words, then she both comforts and shows mercy; and so her husband is not like other men.
