Proverbs 31:10-12, 15, 20, 26-27, 29-30

It is hard to find a good wife, because she is worth more than rubies. Her husband trusts her completely. With her, he has everything he needs. She does him good and not harm for as long as she lives.

She gets up while it is still dark and prepares food for her family and feeds her servant girls.

She welcomes the poor and helps the needy.

She speaks wise words and teaches others to be kind. She watches over her family and never wastes her time.

saying, “There are many fine women, but you are better than all of them.” Charm can fool you, and beauty can trick you, but a woman who respects the LORD should be praised.
