katapi HOME Ecclesiasticus 36:18-26 - Choosing a wife.  Sir.36.18-26

36 18 Have pity on the city of your sanctuary,
Jerusalem, the place of your rest.
36 19 Fill Zion with the celebration of your wondrous deeds,
and your temple with your glory.
36 20 Bear witness to those whom you createed in the beginning,
and fulfil the prophecies spoken in your name.
36 21 Reward those who wait for you,
and let your prophets be found trustworthy.
36 22 Hearken, O Lord, to the prayer of your servants,
according to the blessing of Aaron for your people,
and all who are on the earth will know that you are the Lord,
the God of the ages.
36 23 The stomach will take any food,
yet one food is better than another.
36 24 As the palate tastes the kinds of game,
so an intelligent mind detects false words.
36 25 A perverse mind will cause grief,
but a man of experience will pay him back.
36 26 A woman will accept any man,
but one daughter is better than another.
