Proverbs

²³Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land. ²⁴She maketh linen garments and selleth them, And delivereth girdles unto the merchant. ²⁵Strength and dignity are her clothing; And she laugheth at the time to come. ²⁶She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And the law of kindness is on her tongue. ²⁷She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness. ²⁸Her children rise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her, saying: ²⁹Many daughters have done worthily, But thou excellest them all.
