26 Her mouth speaks wisdom,
and loving instruction[a] is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the activities of her household(A)
and is never idle.[b]
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also praises her:
29 “Many women[c] have done noble deeds,
but you surpass them all!” (B)
30 Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,(C)
but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
31 Give her the reward of her labor,[d]
and let her works praise her at the city gates.
