8Open thy mouth for a dumb man, and open thy mouth for the causes of all sons that pass forth.
9Deem thou that that is just, and deem thou a needy man and a poor man.
10Who shall find a strong woman? the price of her is a far, and from the last or utmost ends.
11The heart of her husband trusteth in her; and he shall not have need to robberies.
12She shall yield to him good, and not evil, in all the days of her life.
13She sought wool and flax; and wrought by the counsel of her hands.
14She is made as the ship of a merchant, that beareth his bread from a far.
15And she rose by night, and gave lifelode to her menials, and meats to her handmaidens.
16She beheld a field, and bought it; of the fruit of her hands she planted a vinery or a vineyard.
17She girded her loins with strength, and made strong her arm.
