Proverbs 31:21-30

²¹She has no fear of the snow for her family, for all those in her house are clothed in red.

²²She makes for herself cushions of needlework; her clothing is fair linen and purple.

²³Her husband is a man of note in the public place, when he takes his seat among the responsible men of the land.

²⁴She makes linen robes and gets a price for them, and traders take her cloth bands for a price.

²⁵Strength and self-respect are her clothing; she is facing the future with a smile.

²⁶Her mouth is open to give out wisdom, and the law of mercy is on her tongue.

²⁷She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it.

²⁸Her children get up and give her honour, and her husband gives her praise, saying,

²⁹Unnumbered women have done well, but you are better than all of them.

³⁰Fair looks are a deceit, and a beautiful form is of no value; but a woman who has the fear of the Lord is to be praised.
