⁴ A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, But a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.

¹⁰ Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.

¹¹ The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.

¹² She does him good, and not harm, All the days of her life.

¹³ She seeks wool and flax, And works eagerly with her hands.

¹⁴ She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.

¹⁵ She rises also while it is yet night, Gives food to her household, And portions for her servant girls.

¹⁶ She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.

¹⁷ She girds her loins with strength, And makes her arms strong.

¹⁸ She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn't go out by night.

¹⁹ She lays her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold the spindle.

²⁰ She opens her arms to the poor; Yes, she extends her hands to the needy.

²¹ She is not afraid of the snow for her household; For all her household are clothed with scarlet.

¹ Every wise woman builds her house, But the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.

⁹ In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;

¹⁰ but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.

¹¹ Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

³ and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

⁴ that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

⁵ to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God's word may not be blasphemed.

⁶ Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober-minded;

¹⁴ House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from Yahweh.

³⁰ Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.
