¹⁶ A ^(A)gracious woman attains honor,
And ruthless men attain riches.

²² As a ^(A)ring of gold in a swine’s snout
So is a beautiful woman who lacks ^[a]discretion.

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

14 The ^(A)wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish tears it down with her own hands.

²² He who finds a ^(A)wife finds a good thing
And ^(B)obtains favor from the Lord.

⁹ It is better to live in a corner of a roof
Than ^[a]in a house shared with a contentious woman.

^19 (A)It is better to live in a desert land
Than with a contentious and vexing woman.
