26:9 The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids.
26:10 If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty.
26:11 Watch over an impudent eye: and marvel not if she trespass against thee.
26:12 She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her: by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.
26:13 The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
26:14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord; and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed.
26:15 A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.
26:16 As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven; so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house.
26:17 As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick; so is the beauty of the face in ripe age.
26:18 As the golden pillars are upon the sockets of silver; so are the fair feet with a constant heart.
