She considers a field and buys it. With the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She fortifies herself with strength and strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good. Her candle does not go out at night. She stretches her hands to the spindle and her hands hold the distaff. She stretches out her hand to the poor. Yes, she reaches forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household. All her household is clothed with scarlet. She makes herself coverings of tapestry. Her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes fine linen and sells it. She supplies sashes for the merchants. Strength and honor are her clothing. She will rejoice in time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness (she speaks kind things). She watches over her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her. Many daughters have done well, but you are above them all. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain. But a woman who respects Jehovah will be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands. Let her own works praise her in the gates.
