10 Who shall find a virtuous woman?
For such a one is more valuable than precious stones.
13 Gathering wool and flax, she makes it serviceable with her hands.
14 She is like a ship trading from a distance:
So she procures her livelihood.
15 And she rises by night,
And gives food to her household,
And appointed tasks to her maidens.
16 She views a farm, and buys it:
And with the fruit of her hands she plants a possession.
17 She strongly girds her loins,
And strengthens her arms for work.
18 And she finds by experience that working is good;
And her candle goes not out all night.
20 And she opens her hands to the needy,
And reaches out fruit to the poor.
24 She makes fine linens,
And sells girdles to the Canaanites:
She opens her mouth heedfully and with propriety,
And controls her tongue.
