Proverbs 31:29-31
New Catholic Bible
29 “Many are the women who have done admirable things,[a]
but you outdo them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive[b] and beauty is fleeting,
but the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Give her a share in what her hands have accomplished,[c]
and let her works bring her praise at the city gates.
