Psalms 128:3
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in the inner rooms of your house; your children will be like olive branches, as they sit all around your table.

Isaiah 44:3-5
For I will pour water on the parched ground and cause streams to flow on the dry land. I will pour my spirit on your offspring and my blessing on your children.They will sprout up like a tree in the grass, like poplars beside channels of water.One will say,‘ I belong to the LORD,’ and another will use the name‘ Jacob.’ One will write on his hand,‘ The LORD’s,’ and use the name‘ Israel.’”

Psalms 127:4-5
Sons born during one’s youth are like arrows in a warrior’s hand.How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! They will not be put to shame when they confront enemies at the city gate.

1 Peter 3 3-1 Peter 3 6
Let your beauty not be external– the braiding of hair and wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes–but the inner person of the heart, the lasting beauty of a gentle and tranquil spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.For in the same way the holy women who hoped in God long ago adorned themselves by being subject to their husbands,like Sarah who obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children when you do what is good and have no fear in doing so.

Proverbs 31:10-27
Who can find a wife of noble character? For her value is far more than rubies.The heart of her husband has confidence in her, and he has no lack of gain.She brings him good and not evil all the days of her life.She obtains wool and flax, and she is pleased to work with her hands.She is like the merchant ships; she brings her food from afar.She also gets up while it is still night, and provides food for her household and a portion to her female servants.She considers a field and buys it; from her own income she plants a vineyard.She begins her work vigorously, and she strengthens her arms.She knows that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out in the night.Her hands take hold of the distaff, and her hands grasp the spindle.She extends her hand to the poor, and reaches out her hand to the needy.She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all of her household are clothed with scarlet.She makes for herself coverlets; her clothing is fine linen and purple.Her husband is well-known in the city gate when he sits with the elders of the land.She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.She is clothed with strength and honor, and she can laugh at the time to come.She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue.She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Song of Solomon 8 8-Song of Solomon 8 9
We have a little sister, and as yet she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is spoken for?If she is a wall, we will build on her a battlement of silver; but if she is a door, we will barricade her with boards of cedar.

Lamentations 4:2
The precious sons of Zion were worth their weight in gold– Alas!– but now they are treated like broken clay pots, made by a potter.ג( Gimel)

Isaiah 3:16-24
The LORD says,“ The women of Zion are proud. They walk with their heads high and flirt with their eyes. They skip along and the jewelry on their ankles jingles.So the sovereign master will afflict the foreheads of Zion’s women with skin diseases, the LORD will make the front of their heads bald.”At that time the sovereign master will remove their beautiful ankle jewelry, neck ornaments, crescent shaped ornaments,earrings, bracelets, veils,headdresses, ankle ornaments, sashes, sachets, amulets,rings, nose rings,festive dresses, robes, shawls, purses,garments, vests, head coverings, and gowns.A putrid stench will replace the smell of spices, a rope will replace a belt, baldness will replace braided locks of hair, a sackcloth garment will replace a fine robe, and a prisoner’s brand will replace beauty.
