Proverbs 31:10-20

The Virtuous Wife (Part 1)

Proverbs 31:10-20
10
Who can find a capable wife? Her value is far beyond that of pearls.
11
Her husband trusts her from his heart, and she will prove a great asset to him.
12
She works to bring him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
13
She procures a supply of wool and flax and works with willing hands.
14
She is like those merchant vessels, bringing her food from far away.
15
It's still dark when she rises to give food to her household and orders to the young women serving her.
16
She considers a field, then buys it, and from her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17
She gathers her strength around her and throws herself into her work.
18
She sees that her business affairs go well; her lamp stays lit at night.
19
She puts her hands to the staff with the flax; her fingers hold the spinning rod.
20
She reaches out to embrace the poor and opens her arms to the needy.
