10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband does safely trust in her, so that he shall have no lack of gain.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool, and flax, and works willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants' ships; she brings her food from afar.
15 She rises also while it is yet night, and gives food to her household, and a portion to her maidservants.
16 She considers a field, and buys it: with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds her loins with strength, and strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good: her lamp goes not out by night.
19 She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
20 She stretches out her hand to the poor; yea, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that makes ashamed is like rottenness in his bones.
1 Every wise woman builds her house: but the foolish plucks it down with her hands.
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with decency and propriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 But (as becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sensible, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to you all that you require: for all the city of my people does know that you are a virtuous woman.
14 House and riches are the inheritance from fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
