Proverbs 31:28

26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband praises her as well:

29 “Many daughters have done noble things, but you surpass them all!”

30 Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
