Isaiah 44:3-5
For I will pour water on the thirsty land And streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring, And My blessing on your descendants;And they will spring up among the grass Like poplars by streams of water.’This one will say,‘ I am the Lord’s’; And that one will call on the name of Jacob; And another will write on his hand,‘ Belonging to the Lord,’ And will give himself Israel’s name with honor.

Psalms 127:4-5
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth.Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

1 Peter 3 3-1 Peter 3 6
Your adornment must not be merely the external— braiding the hair, wearing gold jewelry, or putting on apparel;but it should be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.For in this way the holy women of former times, who hoped in God, also used to adorn themselves, being subject to their own husbands,just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; and you have proved to be her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.

Proverbs 31:10-27
An excellent wife, who can find her? For her worth is far above jewels.The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain.She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.She looks for wool and linen, And works with her hands in delight.She is like merchant ships; She brings her food from afar.And she rises while it is still night And gives food to her household, And portions to her attendants.She considers a field and buys it; From her earnings she plants a vineyard.She surrounds her waist with strength And makes her arms strong.She senses that her profit is good; Her lamp does not go out at night.She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hands grasp the spindle.She extends her hand to the poor, And she stretches out her hands to the needy.She is not afraid of the snow for her household, For all her household are clothed with scarlet.She makes coverings for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies belts to the tradesmen.Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future.She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.She watches over the activities 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 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 planks of cedar.”

Lamentations 4:2
The precious sons of Zion, Weighed against pure gold, How they are regarded as earthenware jars, The work of a potter’s hands!

Isaiah 3:16-24
Moreover, the Lord said,“ Because the daughters of Zion are haughty And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And jingle the anklets on their feet,The Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, And the Lord will make their foreheads bare.”On that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments,dangling earrings, bracelets, veils,headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets,finger rings, nose rings,festive robes, outer garments, shawls, purses,papyrus garments, undergarments, headbands, and veils.Now it will come about that instead of balsam oil there will be a stench; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of well set hair, a plucked out scalp; Instead of fine clothes, a robe of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.
