This wife needs to take note, especially the silent part. :) Happy the husband of a good wife;* the number of his days will be doubled.a 2 A loyal wife brings joy to her husband, and he will finish his years in peace. 3 A good wife is a generous gift bestowed upon him who fears the Lord.b 4 Whether rich or poor, his heart is content, a smile ever on his face. 5 There are three things I dread, and a fourth which terrifies me: Public slander, the gathering of a mob, and false accusation—all harder to bear than death. 6 A wife jealous of another wife is heartache and mourning;* everyone feels the lash of her tongue. 7 A wicked wife is a chafing yoke; taking hold of her is like grasping a scorpion. 8 A drunken wife arouses great anger, for she does not hide her shame. 9 By her haughty stare and her eyelids an unchaste wife can be recognized. 10 Keep a strict watch over an unruly wife, lest, finding an opportunity, she use it;c 11 Watch out for her impudent eye, and do not be surprised if she betrays you: 12 As a thirsty traveler opens his mouth and drinks from any water nearby, So she sits down before every tent peg and opens her quiver for every arrow. 13 A gracious wife delights her husband; her thoughtfulness puts flesh on his bones. 14 A silent wife is a gift from the Lord; nothing is worth more than her self-discipline. 15 A modest wife is a supreme blessing; no scales can weigh the worth of her chastity. 16 The sun rising in the Lord’s heavens— the beauty of a good wife in her well-ordered home. 17 The light which shines above the holy lampstand—* a beautiful face on a stately figure. 18 Golden columns on silver bases— so her shapely legs and steady feet.
