¹¹ And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

¹⁰ Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

⁴ A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

²⁹ Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

³⁰ Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

³¹ Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
