A woman of valor, who can find? Far beyond pearls is her value. Her
husband's heart trusts in her and he shall lack no fortune. She repays
his good, but never his harm, all the days of her life. She seeks out
wool and linen, and her hands work willingly, She is like a merchant's
ships; from afar she brings her sustenance. She rises while it is still
nighttime, and gives food to her household and a ration to her maids.
She considers a field and buys it; from the fruit of her handiwork she
plants a vineyard. She girds her loins with might and strengthens her
arms. She senses that her enterprise is good, so her lamp is not extinguished
at night. She puts her hand to the distaff, and her palms support the
spindle. She spreads out her palm to the poor and extends her hands to
the destitute. She fears not snow for her household, for her entire household
is clothed with scarlet wool. Bedspreads she makes herself; linen and
purple wool are her clothing. Well-known at the gates is her husband as
he sits with the elders of the land. Garments she makes and sells, and
she delivers a belt to the peddler. Strength and splendor are her clothing,
and smilingly she awaits her last day. She opens her mouth with Wisdom,
and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She anticipates the needs
of her household, and the bread of idleness, she does not eat. Her children
rise and celebrate her; and her husband, he praises her: "Many daughters
have attained valor, but you have surpassed them all." False is grace,
and vain is beauty; a God-fearing woman, she should be praised. Give her
the fruit of her hands, and she will be praised at the gates by her very
own deeds. Proverbs 31:10-31 |
