Commentary for Proverbs 12:4
אֵֽשֶׁת־חַ֭יִל עֲטֶ֣רֶת בַּעְלָ֑הּ וּכְרָקָ֖ב בְּעַצְמוֹתָ֣יו מְבִישָֽׁה׃
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; But she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones.
Rashi on Proverbs
is like rot A worm that penetrates the bones and grinds them. So is an embarrassing, bad wife, whose deeds are shameful.
