1 Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous wife, for the number of his days shall be double.
2 A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and he shall fulfil the years of his life in peace.
3 A good wife is a good portion, which shall be given in the portion of them that fear the Lord.
8 A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, and she will not cover her own shame.
9 The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids.
11 Watch over an impudent eye: and marvel not if she trespass against thee.
13 The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
15 A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.
17 As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick; so is the beauty of the face in ripe age.
18 As the golden pillars are upon the sockets of silver; so are the fair feet with a constant heart.
19 My son, keep the flower of thine age sound; and give not thy strength to strangers.
21 So thy race which thou leavest shall be magnified, having the confidence of their good descent.
24 A dishonest woman contemneth shame: but an honest woman will reverence her husband.
25 A shameless woman shall be counted as a dog; but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord.
27 A loud crying woman and a scold shall be sought out to drive away the enemies.

Chris's Ecclesiasticus Chapter 26 comment on 3/07/2022, 10:29pm...
Hi QuilaD. Warm greetings to you as share with all of us around God's Word. I notice that you've written elsewhere, so we look forward to exchanging Bible knowledge that would help us in mutual spiritual growth & fellowship.
Very true, Love is the greatest of all from the Spirit; if the Church focussed on exercising that towards God & one another, the gathering of believers would be immensely different & patterned to how Christ intended for His Church to function. But other issues & problems creep in & the foundation of Love is eroded, sometimes totally broken up. But restoration & healing are always available when sin is identified & the Lord's Face is sought in sorrow & humility.

Hi, a book written a while back on this subject is titled: The United Undivided Church of God ,perhaps of interest for some.
