Proverbs 31:13-19
13She looks for wool and linen, And works with her 1hands 2in delight.14She is like 3merchant ships; She brings her food from afar.15And she 4rises while it is still night And 5gives food to her household, And 6portions to her attendants.16She considers a field and buys it; From 7her earnings she plants a vineyard.17She 8surrounds her waist with strength And makes her arms strong.18She senses that her profit is good; Her lamp does not go out at night.19She stretches out her hands to the 9distaff, And her 10hands grasp the spindle.
