Proverbs 31:10-28
10A virtuous womanH802 who canH4310 findH4672? for herH802 priceH4377 is farH7350 above rubies.
11The heartH3820 of her husbandH1167 trusteth in her, and he shall have noH3808 lackH2637 of gainH7998.
12SheH2896 doeth him goodH2896 and notH3808 evilH7451 allH3605 the daysH3117 of herH3605 lifeH3117.
13She seeketh woolH6785 and flaxH6593, and worketh willingly with her handsH3709.
14She is like the merchant-ships; she bringeth herH935 foodH3899 from afarH4801.
15SheH6965 riseth also whileH5750 it is yet nightH3915, and giveth meat to herH5414 householdH1004, and their task to herH5414 maidensH5291.
16She considereth a fieldH7704, and buyeth it: with the fruitH6529 of herH3947 handsH3709 she planteth a vineyardH3754.
17She girdeth herH553 loinsH4975 with strengthH5797, and maketh strongH5797 herH553 armsH2220.
18SheH3588 perceiveth that herH3588 merchandiseH5504 is profitable: herH3588 lampH5216 goeth notH3808 out by nightH3915.
19She layeth herH7971 handsH3027 to the distaffH6418, and herH7971 handsH3027 holdH8551 the spindleH6418.
20She spreadeth outH7971 herH7971 handH3027 to the poorH6041; yea, she reacheth forthH7971 herH7971 handsH3027 to the needyH34.
21SheH3588 is notH3808 afraidH3372 of the snowH7950 for herH3605 householdH1004; for allH3605 herH3605 householdH1004 are clothedH3847 with scarletH8144.
22She maketh for herself carpets of tapestry; her clothingH3830 is fineH8336 linenH8336 and purpleH713.
23HerH3045 husbandH1167 is knownH3045 in the gatesH8179, when he sitteth among the eldersH2205 of the landH776.
24She maketh linenH5466 garmentsH5466 and selleth them; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25StrengthH5797 and dignityH1926 are herH3117 clothingH3830; and she laugheth at the time to comeH314.
26She openeth herH5921 mouthH6310 with wisdomH2451; and the lawH8451 of kindnessH2617 is on herH5921 tongueH3956.
27SheH3808 looketh wellH6822 to the waysH1979 of herH398 householdH1004, and eateth notH3808 the breadH3899 of idlenessH6104.
28HerH833 childrenH1121 riseH6965 upH6965, and callH833 herH833 blessedH833; herH833 husbandH1167 also, and he praiseth herH833, saying:
