Proverbs 31:24-31

²⁴She made linen cloth, and sold it; and gave a girdle to a merchant.

²⁵Strength and fairness is the clothing of her; and she shall laugh in the last day. (Strength and beauty be her clothing; and she shall laugh at tomorrow or and she shall laugh on the last day, as she did on this day.)

²⁶She opened her mouth to wisdom; and the law of mercy is in her tongue. (She opened her mouth with wisdom; and the law of love, or of kindness, is upon her tongue.)

²⁷She beheld the paths of her house; and she ate not bread idly (or and she did not eat the bread of idleness).

²⁸Her sons rose up, and preached her most blessed; her husband rose (up), and praised her.

²⁹Many daughters gathered riches; thou passedest all. (Many women have gathered in riches; but thou hast surpassed them all.)

³⁰Fairness is deceivable grace, and vain; that woman, that dreadeth the Lord, she shall be praised. (Beauty is deceptive, and will not last; but that woman, who feareth the Lord or who revereth the Lord, yea, she shall be praised.)

³¹Give ye to her of the fruit of her hands; and her works praise her in the gates. (Give ye her credit for the fruit of her hands, or for all that she hath done; and may her works bring her praise at the city gates.)
