6Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter in soul;
7Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8Open thy mouth for the dumb, in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
10A woman of valour who can find? for her price is far above rubies.
11The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, and he hath no lack 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 merchant-ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth food to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16She considereth 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.
18She perceiveth that her merchandise is good; her lamp goeth not out by night.
19She layeth her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
20She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22She maketh for herself coverlets; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
