Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many do noble things, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring praise at the city gate. Proverbs 31:28-31
