Proverbs 31

25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,

and she laughs at the future.*Literally "to the day/time coming after"

26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,

and instruction of kindness is upon her tongue.

27 She looks after the ways of her household,

and the bread of idleness she will not eat.

28 Her children rise and consider her happy,

her husband*Or "lord" also, and he praises her;

29 "Many daughters have done excellence,*Or "strength," or "valor," or "ability," or "efficiency"

but you surpass*Literally "you ascend over" all of them."

30 Charm*Hebrew "The charm" is deceit and beauty*Hebrew "the beauty" is vain;*Or "vapor," or "emptiness," or "breath"

but a woman who fears Yahweh shall be praised.
