1. Happy is the husband of a good wife; And the number of his days shall be twofold.
2. A brave woman rejoices her husband; And he shall fulfil his years in peace.
3. A good wife is a good portion: She shall be given in the portion of such as fear the Lord.
4. Whether a man be rich or poor, A good heart makes at all times a cheerful countenance.
5. Of three things my heart was afraid; And concerning the fourth kind I made supplication: The slander of a city, and the assembly of a multitude, and a false accusation: All these are more grievous than death.
6. A grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous of another woman, And the scourge of a tongue communicating to all.
7. A wicked woman is as a yoke of oxen shaken to and fro: He that takes hold of her is as one that graspeth a scorpion.
