The Good Wife


Verse 51

She is the helpful wife who possesses the fullness of
Household culture and spends within her husband's means.

Verse 52

The fullest family life remains empty
If the wife lacks the lofty culture of the home.

Verse 53

What does a man lack if his wife is worthy?
And what does he possess if she is lacking worth?

Verse 54

What is more majestic than a women
Who preserves the prodigious strength of chastity?

Verse 55

Even the rains will fall at her command
Who upon rising worships not God, but her husband.

Verse 56

A woman is one who vigilantly guards herself,
Cares for her husband and protects their unblemished reputation.

Verse 57

Why do guardians protect women by confinement?
Her own resolute chastity is a women's paramount protection.

Verse 58

A women deeply devoted to the man who wed her
Will be worthy of great rewards in the world where Gods delight

Verse 59

Unless the wife pursues praiseworthy purity,
The husband cannot prance like a proud lion before his critics.

Verse 60

A worthy wife is the blessing of a home,
And good children are its precious ornament.
