17. Her discipline is a gift from God.
18. Such is an understanding and quiet wife. For there is no substitution for a well-instructed soul.
19. A holy and contrite wife is grace upon grace.
20. And no amount of money is equal to the value of a soul with self-restraint.
21. Like the sun rising over the world in the high places of God, so the beauty of a good wife is the adornment of her house.
22. Like a lamp shining atop a holy lampstand, so is the beauty of a face in the mature stage of life.
23. Like golden pillars upon bases of silver, so are the firm feet of a mature wife upon the soles of her feet.
