New Testament

Proverbs 31:22-30 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

22. She shall make tapestry for herself; She is dressed in fine linen and purple.

23. Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.

24. She shall make fine linen and sell them, And shall give girdles for the merchants.

25. Strength and splendour are her garments, And she rejoices in time to come.

26. She shall open her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the Torah of kindness.

27. She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.

28. Her children shall rise up and call her blessed; Her husband too, and he praises her:

29. “Many daughters have done nobly, But you have risen over them all.”

30. Loveliness is deceptive And prettiness is vain, A woman who fears יהוה is to be praised.
