1 Happy is the husband of a good wife: for the number of his years is double.
·
2 A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband: and shall fulfill the years of his life in peace.
·
3 A good wife is a good portion, she shall be given in the portion of them that fear God, to a man for his good deeds.
·
4 Rich or poor, if his heart is good, his countenance shall be cheerful at all times.
·
5 Of three things my heart hath been afraid, and at the fourth my face hath trembled:
·
6 The accusation of a city, and the gathering together of the people:
·
7 And a false calumny, all are more grievous than death.
·
8 A jealous woman is the grief and mourning of the heart.
·
9 With a jealous woman is a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.
·
10 As a yoke of oxen that is moved to and fro, so also is a wicked woman: he that hath hold of her, is as he that taketh hold of a scorpion.
·
11 A drunken woman is a great wrath: and her reproach and shame shall not be hid.
·
12 The fornication of a woman shall be known by the haughtiness of her eyes, and by her eyelids.
·
13 On a daughter that turneth not away herself, set a strict watch: lest finding an opportunity she abuse herself.
·
14 Take heed of the impudence of her eyes, and wonder not if she slight thee.
·
15 She will open her mouth as a thirsty traveller to the fountain, and will drink of every water near her, and will sit down by every hedge, and open her quiver against every arrow, until she fail.
·
16 The grace of a diligent woman shall delight her husband, and shall fat his bones.
·
17 Her discipline is the gift of God.
·
18 Such is a wise and silent woman, and there is nothing so much worth as a well instructed soul.
·
19 A holy and shamefaced woman is grace upon grace.
·
20 And no price is worthy of a continent soul.
·
21 As the sun when it riseth to the world in the high places of God, so is the beauty of a good wife for the ornament of her house.
·
22 As the lamp shining upon the holy candlestick, so is the beauty of the face in a ripe age.
·
23 As golden pillars upon bases of silver, so are the firm feet upon the soles of a steady woman.
·
24 As everlasting foundations upon a solid rock, so the commandments of God In the heart of a holy woman.
·
25 At two things my heart is grieved, and the third bringeth anger upon me:
·
26 A man of was fainting through poverty: and a man of sense despised:
·
27 And he that passeth over from justice to sin, God hath prepared such an one for the sword.
·
28 Two sorts of callings have appeared to me hard and dangerous: a merchant is hardly free from negligence: and a huckster shall not be justified from the sins of the lips.
