10 Who can find a woman of virtue? For her value [is] far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband trusts safely in her, so that he shall have no need of plunder.

12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

13 She seeks wool and flax, and works willingly [with] her hands.

14 She is like the merchants' ships; she brings her food from afar.

15 She also rises while [it is] still night, and gives food to her household, and a share to her young women.

16 She considers a field, and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.

17 She binds her loins with strength, and makes her arms strong.

18 She sees that her merchandise [is] good; her lamp does not go out by night.

19 She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20 She stretches out her hand to the poor; yea, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
