Proverbs 31: ¹⁰ Who can find a capable wife? She is far more precious than jewels. 

¹¹ The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will not lack anything good.

¹² She rewards him with good, not evil, all the days of her life.

¹³ She selects wool and flax and works with willing hands.

¹⁴ She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from far away.

¹⁵ She rises while it is still night and provides food for her household and portions for her servants.

¹⁶ She evaluates a field and buys it; she plants a vineyard with her earnings.

¹⁷ She draws on her strength and reveals that her arms are strong.

¹⁸ She sees that her profits are good, and her lamp never goes out at night.

¹⁹ She extends her hands to the spinning staff, and her hands hold the spindle.

²⁰ Her hands reach out to the poor, and she extends her hands to the needy.

²¹ She is not afraid for her household when it snows, for all in her household are doubly clothed.

²² She makes her own bed coverings; her clothing is fine linen and purple.

²³ Her husband is known at the city • gates, where he sits among the elders of the land.

²⁴ She makes and sells linen garments; she delivers belts to the merchants.

²⁵ Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the time to come.

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

²⁷ She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle.

²⁸ Her sons rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:

²⁹ “Many women are capable, but you surpass them all!”

³⁰ Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who  fears the Lord will be praised.

³¹ Give her the reward of her labor, and let her works praise her at the city gates.
