International.

Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She
openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh
well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children
arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters
have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain:
but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her the fruit of her hands;
and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Proverbs 31: 25-31, KJV
