| Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous wife, for the number of his days shall be double. | ΕΝ τρισὶν ὡραΐσθην καὶ ἀνέστην ὡραία ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ ἀνθρώπων· ὁμόνοια ἀδελφῶν, καὶ φιλία τῶν πλησίον, καὶ γυνὴ καὶ ἀνὴρ ἑαυτοῖς συμπεριφερόμενοι. |

| A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and he shall fulfil the years of his life in peace. | τρία δὲ εἴδη ἐμίσησεν ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ προσώχθισα σφόδρα τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν· πτωχὸν ὑπερήφανον, καὶ πλούσιον ψεύστην, γέροντα μοιχὸν ἐλαττούμενον συνέσει.— |

|
| A good wife is a good portion, which shall be given in the portion of them that fear the Lord. | ᾿Εν νεότητι οὐ συναγήοχας, καὶ πῶς ἂν εὕροις ἐν τῷ γήρᾳ σου; |

|
| Whether a man be rich or poor, if he have a good heart toward the Lord, he shall at all times rejoice with a cheerful countenance. | ὡς ὡραῖον πολιαῖς κρίσις καὶ πρεσβυτέροις ἐπιγνῶναι βουλήν. |
|

|
| There be three things that mine heart feareth; and for the fourth I was sore afraid: the slander of a city, the gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a false accusation: all these are worse than death. | ὡς ὡραία γερόντων σοφία καὶ δεδοξασμένοις διανόημα καὶ βουλή. |
|

|
| But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all. | στέφανος γερόντων πολυπειρία, καὶ τὸ καύχημα αὐτῶν φόβος Κυρίου.— |
|

|
| An evil wife is a yoke shaken to and fro: he that hath hold of her is as though he held a scorpion. | ᾿Εννέα ὑπονοήματα ἐμακάρισα ἐν καρδίᾳ καὶ τὸ δέκατον ἐρῶ ἐπὶ γλώσσης· ἄνθρωπος εὐφραινόμενος ἐπὶ τέκνοις, ζῶν καὶ βλέπων ἐπὶ πτώσει ἐχθρῶν· |
|

|
| A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, and she will not cover her own shame. | μακάριος ὁ συνοικῶν γυναικὶ συνετῇ, καὶ ὃς ἐν γλώσσῃ οὐκ ὠλίσθησε, καὶ ὃς οὐκ ἐδούλευσεν ἀναξίῳ αὐτοῦ· |
|

|
| The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids. | μακάριος ὃς εὗρε φρόνησιν, καὶ ὁ διηγούμενος εἰς ὦτα ἀκουόντων· |
|

|
| If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty. | ὡς μέγας ὁ εὑρὼν σοφίαν· ἀλλ᾿ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑπὲρ τὸν φοβούμενον τὸν Κύριον· |
|
11
|
11
|
| Watch over an impudent eye: and marvel not if she trespass against thee. | φόβος Κυρίου ὑπὲρ πᾶν ὑπερέβαλεν, ὁ κρατῶν αὐτοῦ τίνι ὁμοιωθήσεται; [ |
|
12
|
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. | φόβος Κυρίου ἀρχὴ ἀγαπήσεως αὐτοῦ, πίστις δὲ ἀρχὴ κολλήσεως αὐτοῦ]. |
|
13
|
13
|
| The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones. | Πᾶσαν πληγὴν καὶ μὴ πληγὴν καρδίας, καὶ πᾶσαν πονηρίαν καὶ μὴ πονηρίαν γυναικός· |
|
14
|
14
|
| A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord; and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed. | πᾶσαν ἐπαγωγὴν καὶ μὴ ἐπαγωγὴν μισούντων, καὶ πᾶσαν ἐκδίκησιν καὶ μὴ ἐκδίκησιν ἐχθρῶν. |
|
15
|
15
|
| A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued. | οὐκ ἔστι κεφαλὴ ὑπὲρ κεφαλὴν ὄφεως, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι θυμὸς ὑπὲρ θυμὸν ἐχθροῦ. |
|

|
| As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven; so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house. | συνοικῆσαι λέοντι καὶ δράκοντι εὐδοκήσω ἢ ἐνοικῆσαι μετὰ γυναικὸς πονηρᾶς. |
|
17
|
17
|
| As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick: so is the beauty of the face in ripe age. | πονηρία γυναικὸς ἀλλοιοῖ τὴν ὅρασιν αὐτῆς καὶ σκοτοῖ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς ὡς ἄρκος. |
|
18
|
18
|
| As the golden pillars are upon the sockets of silver; so are the fair feet with a constant heart. | ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἀναπεσεῖται ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀκούσας ἀνεστέναξε πικρά. |
|
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. | |
|
29
|
|
| A merchant shall hardly keep himself from doing wrong; and an huckster shall not be freed from sin. |
