- 10 Who can find an excellent woman? For her worth is far above rubies.
- 11 The heart of her husband safely trusts in her; So he will have no lack of gain.
- 12 She will do him good and not evil All the days of her life.
- 13 She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands.
- 14 She is like the merchant ships, She brings her food from afar.
- 15 She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidens.
- 16 She considers a field and buys it; With the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
- 17 She dresses her waist with strength, And strengthens her arms.
- 18 She perceives that her merchandise is good, her lamp does not go out at night.
- 19 She puts her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
- 20 She stretches out her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
- 21 She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
- 22 She makes coverings of tapestry for herself; Her clothing is silk and purple.
- 23 Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.
- 24 She makes fine linen, and sells it, And supplies sashes to the merchant.
- 25 Strength and honour are her clothing; And she shall rejoice in time to come.
- 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
- 27 She carefully watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
- 28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her:
- 29 Many daughters have done excellently, But you excel them all.
- 30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
- 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates.
