16 The grace of an attentive wife will delight her husband, and will fatten his bones.
17 Her discipline is a gift from God.
18 Such is an understanding and quiet wife. For there is no substitution for a well-instructed soul.
19 A holy and contrite wife is grace upon grace.
20 And no amount of money is equal to the value of a soul with self-restraint.
21 Like the sun rising over the world in the high places of God, so the beauty of a good wife is the adornment of her house.
22 Like a lamp shining atop a holy lampstand, so is the beauty of a face in the mature stage of life.
