A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.

My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

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