Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
House and riches are the inheritance from fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that makes ashamed is like rottenness in his bones.
Whosoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the LORD.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire are not to be compared unto her.
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.
There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
Which yet my soul seeks, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
No mention shall be made of coral, or of crystal: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was surly and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
Every wise woman builds her house: but the foolish plucks it down with her hands.
The heart of her husband does safely trust in her, so that he shall have no lack of gain.
