Sirach 7:25-27
Common English Bible
25 Give a daughter in marriage,
and you will have completed a great deed,
but present her
to an understanding husband.
26 Do you have a wife who is a soul mate?[a]
Don’t divorce her,
and don’t trust yourself to a woman
whom you hate.
27 Honor your father with all your heart,
and don’t forget
your mother’s labor pains.
