For her price is much higher than jewels. +The heart of her husband has faith in her, and he will have profit in full measure. +She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. +She gets wool and linen, working at the business of her hands. +She is like the trading-ships, getting food from far away. +She gets up while it is still night, and gives meat to her family, and their food to her servant-girls. +After looking at a field with care, she gets it for a price, planting a vine-garden with the profit of her work. +She puts a band of strength round her, and makes her arms strong. +She sees that her marketing is of profit to her: her light does not go out by night. +She puts her hands to the cloth-working rod, and her fingers take the wheel. +Her hands are stretched out to the poor; yes, she is open-handed to those who are in need. +She has no fear of the snow for her family, for all those in her house are clothed in red. +She makes for herself cushions of needlework; her clothing is fair linen and purple. +Her husband is a man of note in the public place, when he takes his seat among the responsible men of the land. +She makes linen robes and gets a price for them, and traders take her cloth bands for a price. +Strength and self-respect are her clothing; she is facing the future with a smile. +Her mouth is open to give out wisdom, and the law of mercy is on her tongue. +She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it. +Her children get up and give her honour, and her husband gives her praise, saying, +Unnumbered women have done well, but you are better than all of them. +Fair looks are a deceit, and a beautiful form is of no value; but a woman who has the fear of the Lord is to be praised. +Give her credit for what her hands have made: let her be praised by her works in the public place. -- cgit v1.2.3
