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

11 The heart of her husband trusts safely in her, so that he shall 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 merchant ships; she brings her food from afar.

15 She also rises while it is still night, and prepares food for her household, and portions for her maidservants.

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

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

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

19 She reaches her hands to the distaff, and her hand holds the spindle.

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