H4672Who can find[H8799] H2428a virtuousH802womanH4377? for her priceH7350is farH6443above rubies.
H1004HouseH1952and richesH5159are the inheritanceH1of fathersH7919: and a prudent[H8688] H802wifeH3068is from the LORD.
H2428A virtuousH802womanH5850is a crownH1167to her husbandH954: but she that maketh ashamed[H8688] H7538is as rottennessH6106in his bones.
H4672Whoso findeth[H8804] H802a wifeH4672findeth[H8804] H2896a goodH6329thing, and obtaineth[H8686] H7522favourH3068of the LORD.
H3368She is more preciousH6443than rubiesH2656: and all the things thou canst desireH7737are not to be compared[H8799] unto her.
H1323And now, my daughterH3372, fear[H8799] H6213not; I will do[H8799] H559to thee all that thou requirest[H8799] H8179: for all the cityH5971of my peopleH3045doth know[H8802] H2428that thou art a virtuousH802woman.
H3426There isH2091goldH7230, and a multitudeH6443of rubiesH8193: but the lipsH1847of knowledgeH3366are a preciousH3627jewel.
H5315Which yet my soulH1245seeketh[H8765] H4672, but I find[H8804] H259not: oneH120manH505among a thousandH4672have I found[H8804] H802; but a womanH4672among all those have I not found[H8804] .
H2451For wisdomH2896is betterH6443than rubiesH2656; and all the things that may be desiredH7737are not to be compared[H8799] to it.
H2142No mention[H8735] H7215shall be made of coralH1378, or of pearlsH4901: for the priceH2451of wisdomH6443is above rubies.
H8034Now the nameH376of the manH5037was NabalH8034; and the nameH802of his wifeH26AbigailH802: and she was a womanH2896of goodH7922understandingH3303, and of a beautifulH8389countenanceH376: but the manH7186was churlishH7451and evilH4611in his doingsH3614; and he was of the house of Caleb.
H2454Every wiseH802womanH1129buildeth[H8804] H1004her houseH200: but the foolishH2040plucketh it down[H8799] H3027with her hands.
H3820The heartH1167of her husbandH982doth safely trust[H8804] H2637in her, so that he shall have no need[H8799] H7998of spoil.
