Proverbs 31:21-31 ▼

21 She is not afraid of her household from snow, || For all her household are clothed [with] scarlet.

22 She has made ornamental coverings for herself, || Silk and purple [are] her clothing.

23 Her husband is known in the gates, || In his sitting with [the] elderly of [the] land.

24 She has made linen garments, and sells, || And she has given a girdle to the merchant.

25 Strength and honor [are] her clothing, || And she rejoices at a latter day.

26 She has opened her mouth in wisdom, || And the law of kindness [is] on her tongue.

27 She [is] watching the ways of her household, || And she does not eat bread of sloth.

28 Her sons have risen up, and pronounce her blessed, || Her husband, and he praises her,

29 “The daughters who have done worthily [are] many, || You have gone up above them all.”

30 Favor [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain, || A woman fearing YHWH, she may boast herself.

31 Give to her of the fruit of her hands, || And her works praise her in the gates!
