²² As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

⁴ A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

14 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

¹⁷ Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

¹⁹ A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

¹³ A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

⁹ It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

21 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
