16She considereth a field, and getteth it: and with the fruite of her handes she planteth a vineyarde.
17She girdeth her loynes with strength, and strengtheneth her armes.
18She feeleth that her marchandise is good: her candle is not put out by night.
19She putteth her handes to the wherue, and her handes handle the spindle.
20She stretcheth out her hand to the poore, and putteth foorth her hands to the needie.
21She feareth not the snowe for her familie: for all her familie is clothed with skarlet.
22She maketh her selfe carpets: fine linen and purple is her garment.
23Her husband is knowen in the gates, when he sitteth with the Elders of the land.
24She maketh sheetes, and selleth them, and giueth girdels vnto the marchant.
25Strength and honour is her clothing, and in the latter day she shall reioyce.
26She openeth her mouth with wisdome, and the lawe of grace is in her tongue.
27She ouerseeth the wayes of her housholde, and eateth not the bread of ydlenes.
28Her children rise vp, and call her blessed: her husband also shall prayse her, saying,
29Many daughters haue done vertuously: but thou surmountest them all.
30Fauour is deceitfull, and beautie is vanitie: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praysed.
