Sirach 26:17LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 17 of 28

"Her discipline is the gift of God."
Sirach 26:17

In context

15She will open her mouth as a thirsty traveller to the fountain, and will drink of every water near her, and will sit down by every hedge, and open her quiver against every arrow, until she fail.

16The grace of a diligent woman shall delight her husband, and shall fat his bones.

17Her discipline is the gift of God.

18Such is a wise and silent woman, and there is nothing so much worth as a well instructed soul.

19A holy and shamefaced woman is grace upon grace.
