and not harm for as long
as she lives.
13. She looks for wool
and flax and likes to
work with her hands.
14. She is like a trader's
ship, bringing food from
far away.
15. She gets up while
it is still dark and pre-
pares food for her
family and feeds her
servant girls.
16. She inspects a field
and buys it. With
money she earned, she
plants a vineyard.
17. She does her work
with energy, and her
arms are strong.
18. She knows that
what she makes is good.
Her lamp burns late
into the night.
19. She makes thread
with her hands and
weaves her own cloth.
20. She welcomes the
poor and helps the
needy.
21. She does not
worry about her
family when it snows,
because they all have
fine clothes to keep
them warm.
22. She makes cover-

clothes are made of
linen and other
expensive material.
23. Her husband is
known at the city

makes decisions as
one of the leaders of
the land.

her family and never
wastes her time.
28. Her children speak
well of her. Her husband
also praises her,
29. Saying, "There are
many fine woman, but you
are better than all of them."
30. Charm can fool you,
and beauty can trick you,
but a woman who respects
the Lord should be praised.
31. Give her the reward
she has earned; she should
be praised in public for what
she has done.
