A Mulher Sábia

14 Real estate and riches are the inheritance of fathers. A prudent wisesensible wife is from Jehovah.

25 Strength and honor are her clothing. She will rejoice in time to come.

26 She opens her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness she speaks kind things.

1 »The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.

2 »Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

3 »The foolish took no oil with their lamps.

4 »The wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 »They all slept, because the bridegroom delayed his arrival.

6 »There was a shout at midnight. Here is the bridegroom! Come meet him.

7 »The virgins awoke and trimmed their lamps.

8 »All the foolish virgins said to the wise: Give us your oil, for our lamps are going out.

9 »But the wise answered: There will not be enough for both of us. Go to the dealers and buy oil for yourself.

10 »While they were away, the bridegroom came. They that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast and the door was shut.

11 »Later the other virgins came, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.

12 »But he told them: I do not know you.

13 »Watch therefore, for you do not know the day or the hour.

16 A gracious woman retains honor. Ruthless and violent men retain riches.

30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain. But a woman who respects Jehovah will be praised.

11 Women in like manner must be serious, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her value is far above corals.

33 Respect for Jehovah teaches wisdom. Before glory there is humility.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God. He gives to all generously and without reproach and it will be given to him.

10 Respect for Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge of the holy One is understanding discernmenttruthwisdom.

11 Search for Jehovah and his strength. Always seek his presence.

3 Aged women likewise should be reverent in behavior and teachers of that which is good. They should not be slanderers nor enslaved to too much wine.

4 They may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God will not be defamed dishonored.

4 A virtuous wife is a crown to her husband. She who acts shameful is rottenness in his bones.

1 Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her own hands.

28 Her children arise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her.

29 Many daughters have done well, but you are above them all.
