5 “In case a man takes a new wife,+ he should not go out into the army, nor should anything else be imposed onto him. He should continue exempt at his house for one year, and he must make his wife whom he has taken rejoice.+

9 See life with the wife whom you love+ all the days of your vain life that He has given you under the sun, all the days of your vanity, for that is your portion in life+ and in your hard work with which you are working hard under the sun.

15 And there was one who did not do [it], as he had what was remaining* of [the] spirit. And what was that one seeking? The seed of God.*+ And YOU people must guard yourselves respecting YOUR spirit,+ and with the wife of your youth may no one deal treacherously.+
