Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Charm fades and beauty passes; a woman who fears the Lord is the one to praise.
Proverbs 31:25-26
Proverbs 31:25-26
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
Strength and honor are her clothing: she faces the future without fear and speaks with wisdom and kindness.
KJVProverbs 31:25-26 in context
22She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. 23Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. 24She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. 25Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. 26She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 27She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 28Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 29Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
