^4 [a]An ^(A)excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who causes shame is like ^(B)rottenness in his bones.

¹⁶ I heard, and my ^[a]inward parts ^(A)trembled;
At the sound my lips tingled.
Decay enters my ^(B)bones,
And in my place I tremble.
Because I must ^(C)wait quietly for the day of distress,
^[b]For the ^(D)people to arise who will invade us.
