Seeker Overlay ON

* A virtuous woman , who can find ? for , far beyond corals , is her worth . * The heart of her husband , trusteth her , and , gain , he shall not lack : * She doeth him good and not evil , all the days of her life : * She seeketh wool and flax , and worketh willingly with her hands : * She is like the ships of the merchant , from afar , she bringeth in her food ; * And she riseth , while yet it is night , and giveth food to her household , and a task to her maidens : * She considereth a field , and procureth it , Out of the fruit of her hands , she planteth a vineyard : * She girdeth , with strength her loins , and putteth vigour into her arms : * She tasteth , whether , good , be her merchandise , and her lamp , goeth not out by night : * Her hands , she putteth forth to the distaff , and , her palms , lay hold of the spindle : * Her palm , she spreadeth out to the oppressed , and , her hands , she extendeth to the needy : * She feareth not , for her household , because of the snow , for , all her household , are clothed with crimson : * Coverlets , she maketh for herself , Of white linen and of purple , is her clothing : * Known in the gates , is her husband , when he sitteth , with the elders of the land : * Fine linen wraps , she maketh and selleth , and , girdles , doth she deliver to the trader : * Strength and dignity , are her clothing , and she laugheth at the time to come : * Her mouth , she openeth with wisdom , and , the instruction of kindness , is on her tongue : * She looketh well to the goings of her household , and , the bread of idleness , will she not eat . * Her children rise up , and call her happy ! her husband , and he praiseth her : * Many daughters , have done virtuously , but , thou , excellest them all ! * Deceitful is loveliness and vain is beauty , The woman that revereth Yahweh , she , shall be praised : * Give her of the fruit of her own hands , and let her own works , praise her in the gates .
