Proverbs 31:6-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 31
6Give intoxicating drink to one who is perishing, And wine to one whose life is bitter. 7Let him drink and forget his poverty, And remember his trouble no more. 8Open your mouth for the people who cannot speak, For the rights of all the unfortunate. 9Open your mouth, judge righteously, And defend the rights of the poor and needy. 10An excellent wife, who can find her? For her worth is far above jewels. 11The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain. 12She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.King James Version

She is far more precious than jewels. 11The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will not lack anything good. 12She rewards him with good, not evil, all the days of her life.New Living Translation
