6Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, And wine to him that hath a heavy heart;
7Let him drink and forget his poverty, And remember his misery no more!
8Open thy mouth for the dumb, In the cause of every orphan!
9Open thy mouth, judge righteously, And maintain the cause of the poor and needy!
10Who can find a capable woman? Her worth is far above pearls.
11The heart of her husband trusteth in her, And he is in no want of gain.
12She doeth him good, and not evil, All the days of her life.
13She seeketh wool and flax, And worketh willingly with her hands.
14She is like the merchants' ships; She bringeth her food from afar.
15She riseth while it is yet night, And giveth food to her family, And a task to her maidens.
16She layeth a plan for a field, and buyeth it; With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17She girdeth her loins with strength, And maketh strong her arms.
