Proverbs 31:13-27

13She obtains wool and flax, and she is pleased to work with her hands.

14She is like the merchant ships; she brings her food from afar.

15She also gets up while it is still night, and provides food for her household and a portion to her female servants.

16She considers a field and buys it; from her own income she plants a vineyard.

17She begins her work vigorously, and she strengthens her arms.

18She knows that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out in the night.

19Her hands take hold of the distaff, and her hands grasp the spindle.

20She extends her hand to the poor, and reaches out her hand to the needy.

21She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all of her household are clothed with scarlet.

22She makes for herself coverlets; her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23Her husband is well-known in the city gate when he sits with the elders of the land.

24She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25She is clothed with strength and honor, and she can laugh at the time to come.

26She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue.

27She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.
