Proverbs 31:13-19

13She looks for wool and flax And works with her 1hands 2in delight.14She is like 3merchant ships; She brings her food from afar.15She 4rises also while it is still night And 5gives food to her household And 6portions to her maidens.16She considers a field and buys it; From 7her earnings she plants a vineyard.17She 8girds 9herself with strength And makes her arms strong.18She senses that her gain is good; Her lamp does not go out at night.19She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her 10hands grasp the spindle.
