Proverbs 12:4 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

v. 4. A virtuous woman, a wife of moral power and probity, as shown in her pious activity in the home, is a crown to her husband, an emblem of honor and glory before the whole world; but she that maketh ashamed, causing him shame by her misconduct, is as rottenness in his bones, like a gnawing worm, a canker slowly undermining and destroying.

4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
