“Who can find a wife with a strong character?
She is worth far more than jewels…..
She speaks with wisdom,
and on her tongue there is tender instruction.
She keeps a close eye on the conduct of her family,
and she does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children and her husband
stand up and bless her.
In addition, he sings her praises, by saying
‘Many women have done noble work, but you have surpassed them all!’
Mujer ejemplar no es fácil hallarla;
¡vale más que las piedras preciosas!
Habla siempre con sabiduría,
y da con amor sus enseñanzas.
Está atenta a la marcha de su casa,
y jamás come lo que no ha ganado.
Sus hijos y su esposo
la alaban y le dicen:
Mujeres buenas hay muchas,
pero tú eres la mejor de todas.
