SCRIPTURE

"Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; [But] a woman that feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised." — Proverbs 31:30 (ASV)

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain Outward graces do not last; praise that will be real and enduring is for those only who fear the Lord, and, out of regard for Him, perform the duties of life as the “virtuous woman” here described.
