Proverbs 31:10-21

New International Version

^10 [a]A wife of noble character^(A) who can find?^(B)
    She is worth far more than rubies.
¹¹ Her husband^(C) has full confidence in her
    and lacks nothing of value.^(D)
12 She brings him good, not harm,
    all the days of her life.
¹³ She selects wool and flax
    and works with eager hands.^(E)
14 She is like the merchant ships,
    bringing her food from afar.
¹⁵ She gets up while it is still night;
    she provides food for her family
    and portions for her female servants.
¹⁶ She considers a field and buys it;
    out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
¹⁷ She sets about her work vigorously;
    her arms are strong for her tasks.
¹⁸ She sees that her trading is profitable,
    and her lamp does not go out at night.
¹⁹ In her hand she holds the distaff
    and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
²⁰ She opens her arms to the poor
    and extends her hands to the needy.^(F)
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
    for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
