A Wife of Noble Character Proverbs 31:10-31, Proverbs 18:22 and Psalm 128:3 A Christian Wife


 



Proverbs 18:22 Nlt The man who finds a wife finds a treasure and he receives favour from the Lord.

Psalm 128:3 Nlt Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing within your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table.

A Wife of Noble Character Proverbs 31:10-31 Nlt
10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?    She is more precious than rubies.

11 Her husband can trust her,    and she will greatly enrich his life.
12 She brings him good, not harm,    all the days of her life.

13 She finds wool and flax    and busily spins it.
14 She is like a merchant’s ship,    bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household    and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.

16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;    with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She is energetic and strong,    a hard worker.
18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;    her lamp burns late into the night.

19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,    her fingers twisting fiber.
20 She extends a helping hand to the poor    and opens her arms to the needy.
21 She has no fear of winter for her household,    for everyone has warm clothes.

22 She makes her own bedspreads.    She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
23 Her husband is well known at the city gates,    where he sits with the other civic leaders.

24 She makes belted linen garments    and sashes to sell to the merchants.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,    and she laughs without fear of the future.
26 When she speaks, her words are wise,    and she gives instructions with kindness.
27 She carefully watches everything in her household    and suffers nothing from laziness.
28 Her children stand and bless her.    Her husband praises her:
29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,    but you surpass them all!”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;    but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.

31 Reward her for all she has done.    Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.
