The book of Sirach or Ecclesiasticus is full of “proverbial” wisdom written by Jesus, the son of Eleazar before the birth of Jesus Christ.

“Sheepfolds and orchards bring flourishing health; but better than either, a devoted wife. Wine and music delight the soul, but better than either, conjugal love. The flute and harp offer sweet melody, but better than either, a voice that is true. A friend, a neighbor, are timely guides, but better than either, a prudent wife.

Sirach 40:18
