Seeker Overlay ON

* Who can find a woman of virtue ? For her value [is ] far above rubies . * The heart of her husband trusts safely in her , so that he shall have no need of plunder . * She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life . * She seeks wool and flax , and works willingly [with ] her hands . * She is like the merchants ' ships ; she brings her food from afar . * She also rises while [it is ] still night , and gives food to her household , and a share to her young women . * She considers a field , and buys it ; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard . * She binds her loins with strength , and makes her arms strong . * She sees that her merchandise [is ] good ; her lamp does not go out by night . * She lays her hands to the spindle , and her hands hold the distaff . * She stretches out her hand to the poor ; yea , she reaches 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 makes herself coverings ; her clothing [is ] silk and purple . * Her husband is known in the gates , when he sits among the elders of the land . * She makes fine linen and sells [it ], and delivers girdles to the merchants . * Strength and honor [are ] her clothing ; and she shall rejoice in time to come . * She opens her mouth with wisdom ; and in her tongue [is ] the law of kindness . * She looks well to the ways of her household , and does not eat the bread of idleness . * Her sons rise up and call her blessed ; her husband [also ], and he praises her . * Many daughters have done well , but you excel them all . * Favor [is ] deceitful , and beauty [is ] vain , [but ] a woman who fears the LORD , she shall be praised . * Give her of the fruit of her hands ; and let her own works praise her in the gates .
