A worthy woman is the crown of her husband; But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh; But envy is the rottenness of the bones.
Every wise woman buildeth her house; But the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands.
Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.
For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.
I heard, and my body trembled, My lips quivered at the voice; Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place; Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, For the coming up of the people that invadeth us.
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou sayest; for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a worthy woman.
The thoughts of the righteous are just; But the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.
As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout, So is a fair woman that is without discretion.
For an odious woman when she is married; And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
Many daughters have done worthily, But thou excellest them all.
