Translation
of original Hebrew text by King Solomon:
"
A
wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more
than pearls.
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of
value.
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still dark; and provides food for her
family and portions for her servant girls.
She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants
a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for
her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable; and her lamp does not
go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with
her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the
needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of
them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen
and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his
seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants
with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the
days to come.
She speaks with wisdom and dignity, and faithful instruction
is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat
the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and
he praises her.
'Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.'
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who
fears the Lord is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned and let her works bring her
praise at the city gate."

31:10-31
