Proverbs 31:13-27

13She seeks wool and flax, And willingly works with her hands.

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

15She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidservants.

16She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard.

17She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms.

18She perceives that her merchandise is good, And her lamp does not go out by night.

19She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hand holds the spindle.

20She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

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

22She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.

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

25Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come.

26She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

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