THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN

Proverbs 31:10-31

New International Version 10) A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth more than rubies. 11) Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12) She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13) She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 14) She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. 15) She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. 16) She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17) She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 18) She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19) In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. 20) She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. 21) When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 22) She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. 23) Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. 24) She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. 25) She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 26) She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. 27) She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28) Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29) "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." 30) Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 31) Give her the reward she has earned and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

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 mainservants. 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 sistaff, 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 in not afraid of snow for her household, For allher 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 huysband also, and he praises her; 29) "Many daughters have done will, 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 furit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates.
