And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town…

There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel…

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name…

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies….

Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me…

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.  Live as children of light…

She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff…

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you…

And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter…

She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands….

She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple…

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil…

Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come….

She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms…

She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night…

Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her….

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness….

Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised….
