Blessed is the husband of a good wife, for the number of his days shall be doubled. A drunken woman is a great wrath, and her shame cannot be hidden. The harlotry of a woman is in the lifting up of her eyes, and she is known by her eyelids. A woman that loveth silence is a gift from the Lord, and a discreet soul is beyond price.
A virtuous woman delighteth her husband, and she shall make his years to pass in peace. A chaste soul hath no balance to weigh its value. As the lamp shineth upon the holy candlestick, so doth the beauty of the face upon a grave stature.
A good wife is a good portion; she shall be given in the portion of them that fear the Lord.
Then shall his heart be joyful, and his countenance cheerful at all times, whether he be rich or poor.
Of three things my heart was afraid, and at the fourth I made supplication with my face.
The slander of a city, and the gathering of a multitude.
And calumny: all these things are heavier than death.
But the jealousy of a wife against a wife is a torment of heart and sorrow.
And her tongue is a scourge that striketh all.
A wicked woman is a restless yoke; and whoso taketh her is as he that taketh a scorpion.
Keep a strict watch over a shameless daughter, lest she find an advantage and offer herself.
Give heed to her impudent eye, and marvel not if she provoke thee to iniquity.
She will open her mouth as a thirsty traveler, and drink of every water that she findeth; and she will sit down by every post, and open her quiver against every arrow.
The kindness of a woman gladdeneth her husband.
And her discretion maketh his bones fat.
A loving woman is grace upon grace.
The sun riseth in the highest parts of the Lord, and the beauty of a good woman in the ordering of her house.
Golden pillars upon bases of silver are the comely legs upon the solid feet of one of good stature.
Foundations upon a rock stand sure for ever, and the commandments of the Lord in the heart of a pure woman.
Two things grieve my heart, and the third maketh me full of wrath.
A man of war that suffereth poverty, and men of understanding that are contemned.
But he that turneth from righteousness to sin, the Lord reserveth him for the sword.
It is not easy for a merchant to keep himself from iniquity; and a huckster shall not be acquitted of sin.
