Proverbs 31:7-17

⁷He will drink and he will forget his poverty and he will not remember his trouble.

⁸Speak for those who cannot speak, for the causes of all who are perishing.

⁹Speak out and judge by the measure of what is right and plead the cause of poor and needy people.

¹⁰Who can find a capable wife? Her value is far more than jewels.

¹¹The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will never be poor.

¹²She does good things for him and not evil all the days of her life.

¹³She selects wool and flax, and works with the delight of her hands.

¹⁴She is like the merchant ships; she brings her food from far away.

¹⁵She rises while it is night and gives food to her household, and she distributes the work for her female servants.

¹⁶She considers a field and buys it, with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.

¹⁷She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.
