and portions for her servant girls.
031:016 She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands,
she plants a vineyard.
031:017 She girds her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong.
031:018 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
Her lamp doesn't go out by night.
031:019 She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
031:020 She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands
to the needy.
031:021 She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her
household are clothed with scarlet.
031:022 She makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing

031:023 Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits among
the elders of the land.

to the merchant.

the time to come.
031:026 She opens her mouth with wisdom. Faithful instruction is
on her tongue.
031:027 She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn't eat
the bread of idleness.

also praises her:
031:029 "Many women do noble things, but you excel them all."
031:030 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh,
she shall be praised.
031:031 Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise
her in the gates!
