14
A silent wife is a gift from the Lord, and nothing can be traded for her self-discipline.
15
A modest wife adds charm upon charm, and there is no balance that can weigh the full value of her self-control.
16
As the sun rising in the Lord's high heavens, so is the beauty of a good wife in her well-ordered home.
17
As a lamp shines on the holy lampstand, so also is a beautiful face along with steady maturity.
18
Like gold pillars upon a silver base, so also are shapely legs on steadfast feet.
19
My child, keep the vitality of your prime of life safe and sound, and don't give your strength over to strangs.
20
After you have chosen a fertile plot out of every field, sow your own seed, being confident of your excellent descent.
21
Thus your offspring who surround you and who have confidence in their excellent descent, will become great.
22
A hired woman will be considered the same as spit, but a married woman will be considered a tower of death to those who associate too closely with her.
23
An ungodly woman will be bestowed on a lawless man as his portion, but a godly woman is granted to the man who fears the Lord.
24
A shameless woman will always be in disgrace, but a dignified daughter will show modesty even with her husband.
