Proverbs 31:10-31
A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies.The heart of her husband trusteth in her, And he shall have no lack of gain.She doeth him good and not evil All the days of her life.She seeketh wool and flax, And worketh willingly with her hands.She is like the merchant- ships; She bringeth her bread from afar.She riseth also while it is yet night, And giveth food to her household, And their task to her maidens.She considereth a field, and buyeth it; With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.She girdeth her loins with strength, And maketh strong her arms.She perceiveth that her merchandise is profitable; Her lamp goeth not out by night.She layeth her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold the spindle.She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.She is not afraid of the snow for her household; For all her household are clothed with scarlet.She maketh for herself carpets of tapestry; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land.She maketh linen garments and selleth them, And delivereth girdles unto the merchant.Strength and dignity are her clothing; And she laugheth at the time to come.She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And the law of kindness is on her tongue.She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness.Her children rise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her, saying:Many daughters have done worthily, But thou excellest them all.Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman that feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised.Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her works praise her in the gates.

Ecclesiastes 9:9
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of thy life of vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all thy days of vanity: for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labor wherein thou laborest under the sun.

Proverbs 5:15-23
Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine own well.Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, And streams of water in the streets?Let them be for thyself alone, And not for strangers with thee.Let thy fountain be blessed; And rejoice in the wife of thy youth.As a loving hind and a pleasant doe, Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; And be thou ravished always with her love.For why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah; And he maketh level all his paths.His own iniquities shall take the wicked, And he shall be holden with the cords of his sin.He shall die for lack of instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
