  • Ps 128:3 : 3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table.
  • Prov 31:10-27 : 10 A wife of noble character, who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. 16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 18 She senses that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19 She lays her hands to the distaff, and her fingers grasp the spindle. 20 She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. 21 She is not afraid for her household when it snows, for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 22 She makes coverings for her bed; her clothing is fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is respected at the city gates, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them; she supplies sashes to the merchants. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs at the days to come. 26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and instruction of kindness is on her tongue. 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
  • Song 8:8-9 : 8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for? 9 If she is a wall, we will build on her a battlement of silver. But if she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
  • Isa 3:16-24 : 16 The LORD says, 'Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, walking with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, taking short, mincing steps, and jingling ornaments on their feet, 17 therefore the Lord will make the crowns of the daughters of Zion scabby, and the LORD will expose their secret parts.' 18 In that day, the Lord will take away the beauty of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescent ornaments, 19 the earrings, the bracelets, and the veils, 20 the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets, 21 the rings and nose rings, 22 the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, and the purses, 23 the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the shawls. 24 Instead of perfume, there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well-set hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
  • Isa 44:3-5 : 3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants and my blessing on your offspring. 4 They will sprout up like grass among the meadows, like willows by flowing streams. 5 One will say, 'I belong to the LORD,' another will call on the name of Jacob, and still another will write on his hand, 'Belonging to the LORD,' and will honor the name of Israel.

  • 1 Pet 3:3-6 : 3 Let your beauty not be external—such as elaborate hairstyles, the wearing of gold jewelry, or fine clothes. 4 Instead, it should be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight. 5 For in this way, in the past, the holy women who hoped in God also adorned themselves, submitting to their own husbands. 6 Just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You are her children if you do what is good and do not fear anything that frightens you.
  • Job 42:15 : 15 Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
