Proverbs 31:21-31

  1. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

  2. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

  3. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

  4. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

  5. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

  6. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

  7. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

  8. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

  9. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

  10. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

  11. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
