Original text and translations

German.png German text
Wem ein tugendsam Weib bescheret ist, die ist viel edler, dann die köstlichen Perlen.
Ihres Mannes Herz darf sich auf sie verlassen, und Nahrung wird ihm nicht mangeln.
Sie tut ihm Liebs und kein Leid sein lebelang.

English.png English translation
He who is 'beschert'* of a virtuous and capable wife -- she is more valuable than precious pearls;
his heart may rely on her, and will not lack for sustenance.
She brings him love, and no suffering, his whole life long.
