Description of a Worthy Woman
10
[a]An excellent woman [one who is spiritual, capable, intelligent, and virtuous], who is he who can find her?
Her value is more precious than jewels and her worth is far above rubies or pearls.(B)

The heart of her husband trusts in her [with secure confidence],
And he will have no lack of gain.
