25 Strength and honor [are] her clothing, || And she rejoices at a latter day. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She has opened her mouth in wisdom, || And the law of kindness [is] on her tongue. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She [is] watching the ways of her household, || And she does not eat bread of sloth. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her sons have risen up, and pronounce her blessed, || Her husband, and he praises her, Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “The daughters who have done worthily [are] many, || You have gone up above them all.” “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”
30 Favor [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain, || A woman fearing YHWH, she may boast herself. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give to her of the fruit of her hands, || And her works praise her in the gates! Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
