Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die.

Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy.

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.
11
The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain.
12
She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.
13
She seeks wool and flax, And willingly works with her hands.
14
She is like the merchant ships, She brings her food from afar.
15
She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidservants.
16
She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard.
17
She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms.
