Proverbs 31:24-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 31
24She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies belts to the tradesmen. 25Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future. 26She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. 27She watches over the activities of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. 28Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying: 29'Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all.' 30Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.King James Version
