The Good Wife

10 ·It is hard to [L Who can…?] find a ·good [noble; virtuous] wife [Ruth 3:11],
    because she is worth more than ·rubies [or pearls].
11 Her husband ·trusts her completely [entrusts his heart to her].
    With her, he ·has everything he needs [L lacks no plunder; C a military image].
12 She ·does [brings] him good and not ·harm [trouble; evil]
    ·for as long as she lives [L all the days of her life].
