13 A wife’s charm will delight her husband,and her skill will put fat on his bones.
14 A silent wife is a gift from the Lord,and nothing can be tradedfor her self-discipline.
15 A modest wife adds charm upon charm,and there is no balance that can weighthe full value of her self-control.
16 As the sun rising in the Lord’shigh heavens,so is the beauty of a good wifein her well-ordered home.
17 As a lamp shines on the holy lampstand,so also is a beautiful facealong with steady maturity.
18 Like gold pillars upon a silver base,so also are shapely legson steadfast feet.
19 My child, keep the vitalityof your prime of life safe and sound,and don’t give your strengthover to strangers.
