15 And she rises and it is still night, and she provides food for her house, even the portion assigned to her maidservants. 16 She considers a field and buys it; from the fruit of her palms she plants a vineyard. 17 She girds her loins with strength and strengthens her arms. 18 She tastes that her profit is good; her lamp is not extinguished in the night. 19 She stretched out her hands to the distaff, and her palms grasp the spindle. 20 Her palm she spreads out to a poor one, and her hands she sends out to a needy one. 21 She does not fear for her house because of snow, for all her house is clothed in scarlet. 22 Coverings she has made for herself; fine linen and purple are her clothing. 23 Her husband is known in the gates, in his sitting with the elders of the land. 24 Linen garments she has made and sold, and a girdle she gives to the merchant. 25 Strength and honor are her clothing, and she laughs at the day to come. 26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and instruction of kindness is on her tongue. 27 She watches the goings of her house, and the bread of idleness she does not eat. 28 Her children rise up and call her blessed, and her husband he praises her: 29 “Many daughters have acted with worth, and you have gone up over them all.” 30 Charm is deceptive and beauty is vapor, and a woman fearing YHWH—she is to be praised. 31 Give to her from the fruit of her hands, and let her own deeds praise her in the gates.
