Lieblich und schöne sein ist nichts; ein Weib, das Herrn fürchtet, das soll man loben.
Sie wird gerühmet warden von den Früchten ihrer Hände, und ihre Werk warden sie loben in den Toren.

Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman who lives in the Fear of God, she is to be praised.
Give her everything she deserves! Festoon her life with praises!
