Scripture Proverbs 31: 10-21 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.
