Sirach 36:27LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 27 of 28
"Where there is no hedge, the possession shall be spoiled: and where there is no wife, he mourneth that is in want."
In context
25If she have a tongue that can cure, and likewise mitigate and shew mercy: her husband is not like other men.
26He that possesseth a good wife, beginneth a possession: she is a help like to himself, and a pillar of rest.
27Where there is no hedge, the possession shall be spoiled: and where there is no wife, he mourneth that is in want.
28Who will trust him that hath no rest, and that lodgeth wheresoever the night taketh him, as a robber well appointed, that skippeth from city to city.
