26:19 My son, keep the flower of thine age sound; and give not thy strength to strangers.
26:20 When thou hast gotten a fruitful possession through all the field, sow it with thine own seed, trusting in the goodness of thy stock.
26:21 So thy race which thou leavest shall be magnified, having the confidence of their good descent.
26:22 An harlot shall be accounted as spittle; but a married woman is a tower against death to her husband.
26:23 A wicked woman is given as a portion to a wicked man: but a godly woman is given to him that feareth the Lord.
26:24 A dishonest woman contemneth shame: but an honest woman will reverence her husband.
26:25 A shameless woman shall be counted as a dog; but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord.
26:26 A woman that honoureth her husband shall be judged wise of all; but she that dishonoureth him in her pride shall be counted ungodly of all.
26:27 A loud crying woman and a scold shall be sought out to drive away the enemies.
26:28 There be two things that grieve my heart; and the third maketh me angry: a man of war that suffereth poverty; and men of understanding that are not set by; and one that returneth from righteousness to sin; the Lord prepareth such an one for the sword.
