¹⁰ A woman of worth who doth find? Yea, far above rubies `is' her price.

¹⁴ House and wealth `are' the inheritance of fathers, And from Jehovah `is' an understanding wife.

⁴ A virtuous woman `is' a crown to her husband, And as rottenness in his bones `is' one causing shame.

²² `Whoso' hath found a wife hath found good, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.

¹¹ And now, my daughter, fear not, all that thou sayest I do to thee, for all the gate of my people doth know that thou `art' a virtuous woman.

¹⁵ Precious she `is' above rubies, And all thy pleasures are not comparable to her.

¹¹ For better `is' wisdom than rubies, Yea, all delights are not comparable with it.

²⁵ The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed `it' with the bathing of the water in the saying,

²⁷ that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;

²⁸ so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;

²⁹ for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,

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

³¹ `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;'

³² this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;

³³ but ye also, every one in particular -- let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife -- that she may reverence the husband.

¹⁸ Corals and pearl are not remembered, The acquisition of wisdom `is' above rubies.

²⁸ (that still my soul had sought, and I had not found), One man, a teacher, I have found, and a woman among all these I have not found.

⁸ Sixty are queens, and eighty concubines, And virgins without number.

⁹ One is my dove, my perfect one, One she `is' of her mother, The choice one she `is' of her that bare her, Daughters saw, and pronounce her happy, Queens and concubines, and they praise her.

¹⁵ Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, `are' lips of knowledge.
