Proverbs 31 : 10 - 31
Chapter 31
10 | Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. |
11 | The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain. |
12 | She does him good and not evil All the days of her life. |
13 | She seeks wool and flax, And willingly works with her hands. |
14 | She is like the merchant ships, She brings her food from afar. |
15 | She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidservants. |
16 | She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard. |
17 | She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms. |
18 | She perceives that her merchandise is good, And her lamp does not go out by night. |
19 | She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hand holds the spindle. |
20 | She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy. |
21 | She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is clothed with scarlet. |
22 | She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple. |
23 | Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land. |
24 | She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies sashes for the merchants. |
25 | Strength and honor are her clothing; 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 well, But you excel them all." |
30 | Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, 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. |
