Proverbs 11:16

Verse 16. Gracious. Virtuous and beautiful, as God hath granted beauty also for good purposes. This and virtue tend to the advancement of women, while men can use their strength to acquire riches. Calmet.—Glory. Septuagint Syr. and Arab. add, “of her husband. But she that hateth righteousness is a throne of disgrace. The slothful, though rich, shall come to poverty; but the laborious shall retain their riches.” Two hemistics seem to be lost in Hebrew Kennicott.—Most of the additions in the Septuagint are only glosses, or useless repetitions, ( Calmet.) though they seem not to be so in this place. Bible.
