Proverbs 31:30
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: But a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
In context
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her. 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, But thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: But a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her own works praise her in the gates.
