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

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

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

²² Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor of Yahweh.

¹¹ Now, my daughter, don't be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.

¹⁵ She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.

¹¹ For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can't be compared to it.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

²⁷ that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

²⁸ Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

²⁹ For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

³⁰ because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

³¹ "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."

³² This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.

³³ Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

¹⁸ No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.

²⁸ which my soul still seeks; but I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

⁸ There are sixty queens, eighty concubines, And virgins without number.

⁹ My dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is her mother's only daughter. She is the favorite one of her who bore her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed, The queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

¹⁵ There is gold and abundance of rubies; But the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.
