She girds her loins with strength, and makes strong her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out by night.

Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the law of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her sons rise up, and call her blessed. Her husband [also], and he praises her.
