  • Prov 31:10-31 : 10 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her worth is far above rubies. 11 The heart of her husband safely trusts in her, so he will have no lack of gain. 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. 13 She seeks wool and flax, and works willingly with her hands. 14 She is like the merchants' ships; she brings her food from afar. 15 She rises also while it is yet night, and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. 16 She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. 17 She girds herself with strength and strengthens her arms. 18 She perceives that her merchandise is good; her lamp does not go out by night. 19 She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. 20 She extends her hand to the poor; yes, she reaches forth her hands to the needy. 21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. 22 She makes herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. 23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. 24 She makes fine linen and sells it, and delivers sashes to the merchant. 25 Strength and honor are her clothing, and she shall rejoice in time to come. 26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness. 27 She watches over the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but you excel them all. 30 Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.
