“For my husband is not at home,
He has gone on a long journey;

The heart of her husband confideth in her, and he shall have no lack of spoil.

Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her:

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who shames him is like rottenness in his bones.

Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband,
And a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.

For bitter is the wrath of an angry husband; in the day of punishment he will have no mercy.

forsaketh the husband of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

A gracious and good woman attains honor,
And ruthless men attain riches [but not respect].
