Proverbs [Sayings] 31:7-16

⁷Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

⁸Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.

⁹Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”

¹⁰Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.

¹¹Her husband trusts in her from his heart, and she will prove a great asset to him.

¹²She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.

¹³She seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands.

¹⁴She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.

¹⁵She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and chokim ·portions· for her servant girls.

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