¹¹ And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.

⁴ A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband; but she whose behaviour is a cause of shame is like a wasting disease in his bones.

¹⁰ Who may make discovery of a woman of virtue? For her price is much higher than jewels.

²⁹ Unnumbered women have done well, but you are better than all of them.

³⁰ Fair looks are a deceit, and a beautiful form is of no value; but a woman who has the fear of the Lord is to be praised.

³¹ Give her credit for what her hands have made: let her be praised by her works in the public place.
