PROVERBS 31

25 She is strong in her character and respected/dignified,

and she ◄laughs at/is not afraid of► what will happen in the future.

26 When she speaks, she says what is wise.

When she gives instructions,

she speaks [MTY] kindly (OR, faithfully).

27 She watches over everything that is done in her household,

and she [IDM] is never lazy.

28 Her children all together speak highly of her,

and her husband also praises her.

29 He says to her, "There are many women who do admirable things,

but you surpass them all!"

30 Some women who are attractive are not really good women,

but they can deceive us regarding what they are really like.

Furthermore, women’s beauty does not last;

but women who revere Yahweh should be honored.
