Proverbs 31:21-31

²¹She is not worried that the people in her house will be cold in the winter, because she has made warm clothes for all of them.

²²She makes bedspreads/quilts for the beds. She wears fine linen clothes that are dyed purple, like queens wear.

²³Her husband is well known by the important people of the town; he sits with the other town leaders in the meetings of the town council.

²⁴She makes clothes from linen cloth and sells them. She sells sashes to shop owners.

²⁵She is strong in her character and respected/dignified, and she ◄laughs at/is not afraid of► what will happen in the future.

²⁶When she speaks, she says what is wise. When she gives instructions, she speaks MTY kindly (OR, faithfully).

²⁷She watches over everything that is done in her household, and she IDM is never lazy.

²⁸Her children all together speak highly of her, and her husband also praises her.

²⁹He says to her, “There are many women who do admirable things, but you surpass them all!”

³⁰Some women who are attractive are not really good women, but they can deceive us regarding what they are really like. Furthermore, women's beauty does not last; but women who revere Yahweh should be honored.

³¹Reward women who are like that, and praise them in public MTY for what they have done.
