Which verse declares that beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord shall be praised?

• A. Proverbs 31:30
• B. Proverbs 31:31
• C. Titus 2:3
• D. Leviticus 19:2

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing that true value isn’t in outward appearance but in godly character, specifically reverence for God. The verse that states charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord shall be praised, fits this idea exactly. It sits in Proverbs 31 as part of the portrait of a virtuous woman, and it makes the contrast explicit: physical charm and beauty are temporary or deceptive, while a life lived in reverent obedience to God earns lasting praise. That combination is why this verse is the best fit for the statement in the question.

The other passages address different themes—rules about holiness, or instructions about how people should behave or be honored—without delivering the same paired message about beauty’s vanity and the blessing that comes from fearing the Lord.
