Proverbs 31:10-25 - Heartlight

¹⁰A wife of noble character, who can find?

She is far more precious than rubies.

¹¹The heart of her husband trusts in her,

and he lacks nothing of value.

¹²She brings him good and not harm

all the days of her life.

¹³She selects wool and flax

and works with eager hands.

¹⁴She is like the merchant ships,

bringing her food from afar.

¹⁵She rises while it is still night

to provide food for her household

and portions for her maidservants.

¹⁶She appraises a field and buys it;

from her earnings she plants a vineyard.

¹⁷She girds herself with strength

and shows that her arms are strong.

¹⁸She sees that her gain is good,

and her lamp is not extinguished at night.

¹⁹She stretches out her hands to the distaff

and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

²⁰She opens her arms to the poor

and reaches out her hands to the needy.

²¹When it snows, she has no fear for her household,

for they are all clothed in scarlet.

²²She makes coverings for her bed;

her clothing is fine linen and purple.

²³Her husband is known at the city gate,

where he sits among the elders of the land.

²⁴She makes linen garments and sells them;

she delivers sashes to the merchants.

²⁵Strength and honor are her clothing,

and she can laugh at the days to come.
