[There is] a generation [that] will curse its father, and its mother it will not bless.

[There is] a generation [that is] pure in its own eyes, but from its filthiness it will not be cleansed.

[There is] a generation--how lofty [are] their eyes! And their eyelids they will lift.

The rabbits a people not strong, and they will set their house in the rock;

To the locust no king, and it will go forth divided all of them;

The lizard will take hold with their hands, and it is in the temples of the king.

A woman of excellence, who will find? For her worth [is] far more than precious jewels.

The heart of her husband has faith in her, and he will have profit in full measure.

She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

She sought wool and flax, and she will work in delight with her hands.

She was as the ships of the merchant; from far off she will bring her bread.

She will rise while yet night, and she will give food to her house, and a portion to her girls.

She purposed a field, and he will take it: from the fruit of her hands she planted a vineyard.

She girded her loins with strength, and she will strengthen her arms.

She tasted that her traffic is good: her light will not go out by night

She will not fear for her house from snow, for all her house put on double.

She made the under garment., and she will sell; and she gave a girdle to the Canaanite.

Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,
but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
