Who can find a worthy woman ?
For her price is far above rubies .
*
The heart of her husband trusts in her .
He shall have no lack of gain .
*
She does him good ,
and not harm ,
all the days of her life .
*
She seeks wool and flax ,
and works eagerly with her hands .
*
She is like the merchant ships .
She brings her bread from afar .
*
She rises also while it is yet night ,
gives food to her household ,
and portions for her servant girls .
*
She considers a field ,
and buys it .
With the fruit of her hands ,
she plants a vineyard .
*
She arms her waist with strength ,
and makes her arms strong .
*
She perceives that her merchandise is profitable .
Her lamp doesn '
t go out by night .
*
She lays her hands to the distaff ,
and her hands hold the spindle .
*
She opens her arms to the poor ;
yes ,
she extends 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 for herself carpets of tapestry .
Her clothing is fine linen and purple .
*
Her husband is respected in the gates ,
when he sits among the elders of the land .
*
She makes linen garments and sells them ,
and delivers sashes to the merchant .
*
Strength and dignity are her clothing .
She laughs at the time to come .
*
She opens her mouth with wisdom .
Faithful instruction is on her tongue .
*
She looks well to the ways of her household ,
and doesn '
t eat the bread of idleness .
*
Her children rise up and call her blessed .
Her husband also praises her :
* "
Many women do noble things ,
but you excel them all ."
*
Charm is deceitful ,
and beauty is vain ;
but a woman who fears Yahweh ,
she shall be praised .
*
Give her of the fruit of her hands !
Let her works praise her in the gates !
