A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men
retain riches.
(Proverbs 11:16)
A virtuous woman is
a crown to her husband: but she
that maketh ashamed is as
rottenness in his bones.
(Proverbs 12:4)
Every wise woman buildeth
her house: but the foolish
plucketh it down with her hands.
(Proverbs 14:1)

inheritance of fathers: and a
prudent wife is from the Lord.
(Proverbs 19:14)
Who can find a virtuous woman? for
her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband
doth safely trust in her, so that
he shall have no need of spoil.
She will do him good and
not evil all the days of her life.
She seeketh wool, and flax,
and: worketh willingly with her
hands.
She is like the merchants ships;
she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is
yet night, and giveth meat to her
household, and a portion to her
maidens.
She considereth a field, and
buyeth it: with the fruit of her
hands she planteth a vineyard.
She girdeth her loins with
strength, and strengtheneth her
arms.
She perceiveth that her
merchandise is good. her candle
goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the
spindle, and her hands hold the
distaff.
She stretcheth out her hand to the
poor; yea, she reacheth forth her
hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the
snow for her household: for all
her household are clothed with
scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of
tapestry; her clothing is silk and
purple.
Her husband is known in the gates,
when he sitteth among the elders
of the land.
She maketh fine linen, and
selleth it; and delivereth girdles
unto the merchant.
Strength and honour are her
clothing; and she shall rejoice in
time to come.
She openeth her mouth with
wisdom; and in her tongue is the
law of kindness.
She looketh well to the
ways of her household, and eateth
not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and
call her blessed; her husband
also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done
virtuously, but thou excellest
them all.
Favour is deceitful, and
beauty is vain; but a woman that
feareth the Lord, she shall be
praised.
Give her of the fruit of her
hands; and let her own works
praise her in the gates.
(Proverbs 31:10-31)
Live joyfully
with the wife whom thou lovest all
the days of the life of thy
vanity, which he hath given thee
under the sun, all the days of thy
vanity: for that is thy portion in
this life, and in thy labour which
thou takest under the sun.
(Ecclesiastes 9:9)
Let the husband render unto
the wife due benevolence: and
likewise also the wife unto the
husband.
(1 Corinthians 7:3)
Wives, submit yourselves
unto your own husbands, as it is
fit in the Lord.
