Proverbs 31:25-31
Holman Christian Standard Bible
25 Strength(A) and honor are her clothing,(B)
and she can laugh at the time to come.(C)
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom
and loving instruction[a] is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the activities of her household(D)
and is never idle.[b]
28 Her sons rise up and call her blessed.
Her husband also praises her:
29 “Many women[c] are capable,
but you surpass them all!”(E)
30 Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,(F)
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.
