Proverbs 31

25 She is strong and graceful,*31.25 She … graceful: Or "The clothes she makes are attractive and of good quality."

as well as cheerful

about the future.

26 Her words are sensible,

and her advice

is thoughtful.

27 She takes good care

of her family

and is never lazy.

28 Her children praise her,

and with great pride

her husband says,

29 "There are many good women,

but you are the best!"

30 Charm can be deceiving,

and beauty fades away,

but a woman

who honors the Lord

deserves to be praised.
