Proverbs 31

Proverbs 31:10, 25, 26, 30.

“A virtuous and capable wife is more precious than rubies. She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last, but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publically declare her praise.” (NLT).

“Who could ever find a wife like this one – She is a woman of strength and mighty valor! She is full of wealth and wisdom. Bold power and glorious majesty are wrapped around her as she laughs with joy over the latter days. Her teachings are filled with wisdom and kindness as loving instruction pours from her lips. Charm can be misleading and beauty is vain and so quickly fades, but this virtuous woman lives in the wonder, awe and fear of the Lord. She will be praised. So go ahead and give her the credit that is due, for she has become a radiant womqn, and all her loving works of righteousness deserve to be admired at the gateways of every city.” (TPT).
