far above rubies (Proverbs 31:10) → τιμιωτέρα δὲ ἐστιν λίθων πολυτελῶν

[Aussie Babe]

Hey all,

I want to get a tattoo with part of Proverbs 31:10 "far above rubies" in Greek. But I want to be 100% sure it's right before I get it. lol

Any help will be greatly appreciated! =)

τιμιωτέρα δέ ἐστιν λίθων πολυτελῶν

The full proverb is:
γυναι̃κα ἀνδρείαν τίς εὑρήσει τιμιωτέρα δέ ἐστιν λίθων πολυτελῶν ἡ τοιαύτη

You should bear in mind though that the original language of the Old Testament is not Greek. Thus, the Greek phrase is also a translation of the original text.

Hey, thank you. I actually only want the 3 words "far above rubies", not the whole proverb.

What I quote is not the full proverb; sometimes a translation of 3 words of one language can be more than 3 words in the target language ;)

Yes, but wow. haha Thank you very much!!
