Proverbs 31:28-30
New Catholic Bible
28 Her children stand up and proclaim her blessed,[a]
and her husband joins them in praising her:
29 “Many are the women who have done admirable things,[b]
but you outdo them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive[c] and beauty is fleeting,
but the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
