Proverbs 31:10-31
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her
husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and
not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night,
and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth
it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and
strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by
night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out
her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow
for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of
tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among
the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the
merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She
openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the
ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her
blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou
excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she
shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
