4 A woman of virtue [is] a crown to her husband, but she who causes shame [is] like rottenness in his bones.
10 Who can find a woman of virtue? For her value [is] far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband trusts safely in her, so that he shall have no need of plunder.
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 also rises while [it is] still night, and gives food to her household, and a share to her young women.
16 She considers a field, and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She binds her loins with strength, and makes her arms strong.
18 She sees that her merchandise [is] good; her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretches out her hand to the poor; yea, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
3 Let the aged women likewise [be] in reverent behavior, not slanderers, not enslaved by much wine, teachers of good;
4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 [to be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, subject to [their] own husbands, that the Word of God may not be blasphemed.
9 In the same way also, I desire that women adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and sensibleness, not [adorned] with braiding, or gold, or pearls, or costly clothing,
10 but with good works, which becomes women professing godliness.
30 Favor [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain, [but] a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
14 Houses and riches [are] the inheritance of fathers, and a prudent wife [is] from the LORD.
11 And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do to you all that you ask. For all the city of my people knows that you [are] a woman of virtue.
1 A wise woman builds her house, but the foolish plucks it down with her hands.
