²⁹ But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

²⁰ All King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold: no one gave a thought to silver in the days of Solomon.

²¹ For the king had Tarshish-ships sailing with the servants of Huram: once every three years the Tarshish-ships came back with gold and silver, ivory and monkeys and peacocks.

²² And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.

⁴ And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants and their robes, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

⁵ And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.

⁶ But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and truly, word was not given me of half your great wisdom; you are much greater than they said.

² When they see your holy behaviour in the fear of God.

³ Do not let your ornaments be those of the body such as dressing of the hair, or putting on of jewels of gold or fair clothing;

⁴ But let them be those of the unseen man of the heart, the ever-shining ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the eyes of God.

⁵ And these were the ornaments of the holy women of the past, whose hope was in God, being ruled by their husbands:

⁴ And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,

⁵ And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

⁶ And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.

⁷ But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and now I see that it was not half the story; your wisdom and your wealth are much greater than they said.

⁹ And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;

¹⁰ But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God.
