Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have
no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willing with her hands. She is like
the Merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while
it is yet night and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she plantheth
a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth
out her hand to the poor; yea, She reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is
not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband
is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine
linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are
her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom;
and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household,
and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her Children arise up, and call her blessed; her
husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou
excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the
Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works of
praise her in the gates.
