11The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will not lack anything good.

12She rewards him with good, not evil, all the days of her life.

16She evaluates a field and buys it; she plants a vineyard with her earnings.

17She draws on her strength and reveals that her arms are strong.

18She sees that her profits are good, and her lamp never goes out at night.

19She extends her hands to the spinning staff, and her hands hold the spindle.

20Her hands reach out to the poor, and she extends her hands to the needy.

21She is not afraid for her household when it snows, for all in her household are doubly clothed.

22She makes her own bed coverings; her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23Her husband is known at the city gates, where he sits among the elders of the land.

24She makes and sells linen garments; she delivers belts to the merchants.

25Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the time to come.

26Her mouth speaks wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue.

27She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle.

28Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also praises her:
