30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
This verse comes at the end of Proverbs’ description of the “excellent woman”—a Godly, wise, hardworking woman who blesses her family and honors God. After listing her many virtues, the passage wraps up with this truth: beauty and charm might impress people for a moment, but it’s a heart that honors God that will last and be truly worthy of praise.
If you’ve ever felt unattractive or not enough by the world’s standards, this verse gently reminds you: what matters most to God isn’t how you look—it’s how you live. Beauty fades. Godly character doesn’t. When you revere and trust the Lord, you are what Scripture calls “worthy of praise.”
