26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue
is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband
also, and he praises her:
29 “Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm
is deceitful and beauty
is passing,
But a woman
who fears the
Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.
