Proverbs 31:10-12
New American Standard Bible
Description of a Worthy Woman
10 An (A)excellent wife, who can find her?
For her worth is far (B)above jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
Proverbs 31:25-31
New American Standard Bible
25 Strength and (A)dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the [a]future.
26 She (B)opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the [b]teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the activities of her household,
And does not eat the (C)bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
29 “Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who [c](D)fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her the [d]product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.
