25 Strength  * and honor are her clothing,  *

and she can laugh at the time to come.  *

26 Her mouth speaks wisdom,

and loving instruction  * is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the activities of her household  *

and is never idle.  *

28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;

her husband also praises her:

29 "Many women  * have done noble deeds,

but you surpass them all! "  *

30 Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,  *

but a woman who fears the  Lord will be praised.
