25. She is clothed with strength and dignity,and laughs at the days to come.
26. She opens her mouth in wisdom;kindly instruction is on her tongue.
27. She watches over the affairs of her household,and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28. Her children rise up and call her blessed;her husband, too, praises her:
29. “Many are the women of proven worth,but you have excelled them all.”
30. Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting;the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31. Acclaim her for the work of her hands,and let her deeds praise her at the city gates.
