Proverbs 5:18 (Listen)

18 Let your ofountain be blessed,

and srejoice in tthe wife of your youth,

4 dAn excellent wife is ethe crown of her husband,

but she who fbrings shame is like grottenness in his bones.

22 He who finds ua wife finds va good thing

and wobtains favor xfrom the Lord.

13 tA foolish son is ruin to his father,

and ua wife's quarreling is va continual dripping of rain.

14 wHouse and wealth are inherited from fathers,

but a prudent wife is xfrom the Lord.

10 1 uAn excellent wife who can find?

She is far more precious than vjewels.

11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,

and he will have no lack of gain.

[1] 31:10 Verses 10–31 are an acrostic poem, each verse beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet
