A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.
NIV
A virtuous and worthy wife [earnest and strong in character] is a crowning joy to her husband, but she who makes him ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. [Prov. 31:23; I Cor. 11:7.]AMP
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
KJV
