Proverbs 31:15-25

¹⁵And she rose by night, and gave lifelode to her menials, and meats to her handmaidens. (And she arose at night, and gave sustenance to her servants, and food to her servantesses.)

¹⁶She beheld a field, and bought it; of the fruit of her hands she planted a vinery. (She saw a field, and bought it; and from the fruit of her hands, or out of her earnings, she planted a vineyard.)

¹⁷She girded her loins with strength, and made strong her arm.

¹⁸She tasted, and saw, that her merchandise was good; her lantern shall not be quenched in the night.

¹⁹She put her hands to the wharve, and her fingers took the spindle.

²⁰She opened her hand to the needy man, and stretched forth her hands to a poor man. (She opened her hands to the needy, and stretched forth her hands to the poor.)

²¹She shall not dread for her house of the colds of snow (or She shall not have fear for her household concerning the cold and the snow); for all her menials be clothed with double clothes.

²²She made to her a ray-cloth; bis, either white silk, and purple is the cloth of her. (She made a ray-cloth for herself; bis, or white silk, and purple maketh her cloak.)

²³Her husband is noble in the gates, when he sitteth with the senators of the earth. (Her husband is well-regarded at the city gates, when he sitteth with the elders of the land.)

²⁴She made linen cloth, and sold it; and gave a girdle to a merchant.

²⁵Strength and fairness is the clothing of her; and she shall laugh in the last day. (Strength and beauty be her clothing; and she shall laugh at tomorrow or and she shall laugh on the last day, as she did on this day.)
