Proverbs 11:16
A gracious woman retaineth honor - Instead of this clause, the Septuagint have, , "A gracious woman raiseth up honor to the man;" , "But she that hateth righteous things is a throne of dishonor." A good wife is an honor to her husband; and a bad wife is her husband' s reproach: if this be so, how careful should a man be whom he marries!
