Here are a few verses from the book of Proverbs apart
from Proverbs 31 that speaks about women in particular. Who is an ideal woman
according to King Solomon? Discreet, gracious, noble, prudent, not quarrelsome
or nagging (goes without saying, but if only men listened!) and of course
faithful
Proverbs 11:22
As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman
which is without discretion. (KJV)
Proverbs 11:16
A kindhearted (gracious in some translations) woman gains
honor, but ruthless men gain only wealth. (NIV)
Proverbs 12:4
A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a
disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. (NIV)
Proverbs 19:14
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a
prudent wife is from the Lord. King James Version (KJV)
Proverbs 21:9
Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house
with a quarrelsome wife. (NIV)
Proverbs 21:19
Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and
nagging wife. (NIV)
Proverbs 22:14
The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit; a man who
is under the Lord’s wrath falls into it. (NIV)
Proverbs 23:27
for an adulterous woman is a deep pit, and a wayward wife
is a narrow well. (NIV)
Proverbs 27:15, 16
A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof
in a rainstorm; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil
with the hand. (NIV)
