10 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her value is far above corals.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her. He will have no lack of gain.
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 for she brings her food from afar.
15 She rises while it is still night and provides food for her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it. With the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She fortifies herself with strength and strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good. Her candle does not go out at night.
19 She stretches her hands to the spindle and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretches out her hand to the poor. Yes, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
