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.

And does not eat the (C)bread of idleness.

But you excel them all.”

31 Give her the [d]product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.
