The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree (long-lived, stately, upright,
useful and fruitful);
The virtuous woman is majestic; she takes care of her spirit man, her body,
and her clothes.
The effect of her righteousness will be peace and the result of her righteousness
will be quietness
Her earnest prayers make tremendous power available (James 5:16).
Her lips feed and guide
The virtuous woman is a Godly woman. She seeks the Lord's Word in
all her doings and is quick

Lady, that in the prime of earliest youth
|

IF you can find a truly excellent wife, she is worth more than expensive gems! Her husband can really trust her, and she will richly satisfy his needs. She will not hinder him, but help him all her life. She finds wool and flax and busily spins them. She buys imported foods, brought by ship from far-away ports.
She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household, and plans
the day's work for her
She goes out to inspect a field, and buys it; with her own hands she plants a vineyard. She is very energetic, a hard worker, and is a wise buyer. She works far into the night. She sews for the poor, and generously helps those in need. She has no fear of winter for her household, for she has made warm clothes for all of them.
She also drapes with finest tapestry; her own clothing is beautifully made
- a purple gown of pure
Her husband is well known, for he sits in the council chamber with the other civic leaders. She makes belted linen garments to sell to the merchants. She is a woman with lots of energy and dignity, and has no fear of old age. When she speaks, her words are wise, and kindness is the rule for everything she says. She watches carefully all that goes on throughout her household, and is never lazy. Her children rise and bless her; so does her husband. He praises her with these words: 'There are many fine women in the world, but you are the BEST of them all!'
Charm can be deceptive and beauty doesn't last, but a woman who fears and
reverences YAOHU
Praise her for the many fine things she does! These kind deeds of hers shall bring her honor and recognition from highly-influential people! Proverbs 31:10-31, Tanakh or Hebrew Holy Scriptures
Given to you in true love and deep humility, 'beh hol Shuam' YAOHUSHUA
