  • Prov 31:10-31 : 10 A wife of noble character, who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. 16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 18 She senses that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19 She lays her hands to the distaff, and her fingers grasp the spindle. 20 She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. 21 She is not afraid for her household when it snows, for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 22 She makes coverings for her bed; her clothing is fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is respected at the city gates, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them; she supplies sashes to the merchants. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs at the days to come. 26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and instruction of kindness is on her tongue. 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also praises her. 29 Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. 31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gates.
