Psalms 128:3
Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing within your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table.

Isaiah 44:3-5
For I will pour out water to quench your thirst and to irrigate your parched fields. And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your children.They will thrive like watered grass, like willows on a riverbank.Some will proudly claim,‘ I belong to the Lord.’ Others will say,‘ I am a descendant of Jacob.’ Some will write the Lord’s name on their hands and will take the name of Israel as their own.”

Job 42:15
In all the land no women were as lovely as the daughters of Job. And their father put them into his will along with their brothers.

Psalms 127:4-5
Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.

1 Peter 3 3-1 Peter 3 6
Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted the authority of their husbands.For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do.

Proverbs 31:10-27
Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies.Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.She finds wool and flax and busily spins it.She is like a merchant’s ship, bringing her food from afar.She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard.She is energetic and strong, a hard worker.She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber.She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy.She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes.She makes her own bedspreads. She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.Her husband is well known at the city gates, where he sits with the other civic leaders.She makes belted linen garments and sashes to sell to the merchants.She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness.

Song of Solomon 8 8-Song of Solomon 8 9
We have a little sister too young to have breasts. What will we do for our sister if someone asks to marry her?If she is a virgin, like a wall, we will protect her with a silver tower. But if she is promiscuous, like a swinging door, we will block her door with a cedar bar.

Lamentations 4:2
See how the precious children of Jerusalem, worth their weight in fine gold, are now treated like pots of clay made by a common potter.

Isaiah 3:16-24
The Lord says,“ Beautiful Zion is haughty: craning her elegant neck, flirting with her eyes, walking with dainty steps, tinkling her ankle bracelets.So the Lord will send scabs on her head; the Lord will make beautiful Zion bald.”On that day of judgment the Lord will strip away everything that makes her beautiful: ornaments, headbands, crescent necklaces,earrings, bracelets, and veils;scarves, ankle bracelets, sashes, perfumes, and charms;rings, jewels,party clothes, gowns, capes, and purses;mirrors, fine linen garments, head ornaments, and shawls.Instead of smelling of sweet perfume, she will stink. She will wear a rope for a sash, and her elegant hair will fall out. She will wear rough burlap instead of rich robes. Shame will replace her beauty.
