A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.
Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.
Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the sound; decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled. Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us.
And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.
The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.
Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion.
a contemptible woman who gets married, and a servant who displaces her mistress.
“Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”
