___Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
___She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
___She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
___She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
___She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.
___She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
___She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
___She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
___In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
___She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
___When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
___She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
___Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
___She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
___She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
___She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
___She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
___Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
___“Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”
___Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
___Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
