" 8Happy the man who lives with a sensible wife, and the one who does not plow with ox and ass together. Happy is the one who does not sin with the tongue, and the one who has not served an inferior. 9Happy is the one who finds a friend, and the one who speaks to attentive listeners. 10How great is the one who finds wisdom! But none is superior to the one who fears the Lord. 11Fear of the Lord surpasses everything; to whom can we compare the one who has it? "
