Proverbs 31:10-31
The Virtues of a Noble Woman

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price [is] far above rubies.

10:

11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

11:

12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

12:

13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

13:

14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

14:

15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

15:

16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

16:

17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

17:

18 She perceiveth that her merchandise [is] good: her candle goeth not out by night.

18:

19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

19:

20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

20:

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household [are] clothed with scarlet.

21:

22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing [is] silk and purple.

22:

23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

23:

24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth [it]; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

24:

25 Strength and honour [are] her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

25:

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue [is] the law of kindness.

26:

27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

27:

28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband [also], and he praiseth her.

28:

29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

29:

30 Favour [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain: [but] a woman [that] feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

30:

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

31:
