Proverbs 31:10-31 - 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.

²⁶She opens her mouth with wisdom,

and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

²⁷She watches over the affairs of her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

²⁸Her children rise up and call her blessed;

her husband praises her as well:

²⁹“Many daughters have done noble things,

but you surpass them all!”

³⁰Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,

but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

³¹Give her the fruit of her hands,

and let her works praise her at the gates.

— Proverbs 31:10-31
