Proverbs 18:22
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
KJV
Qui invenit mulierem bonam invenit bonum, et hauriet jucunditatem a Domino. Qui expellit mulierem bonam expellit bonum ; qui autem tenet adulteram stultus est et impius.
Vulgate
ὃς εὗρεν γυναῖκα ἀγαθὴν εὗρεν χάριτας, ἔλαβεν δὲ παρὰ θεοῦ ἱλαρότητα· [1] ὃς ἐκβάλλει γυναῖκα ἀγαθὴν ἐκβάλλει τὰ ἀγαθά, ὁ δὲ κατέχων μοιχαλίδα ἄφρων καὶ ἀσεβής.
LXX
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.
