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.
18
She perceives that her merchandise is good, And her lamp does not go out by night.
19
She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hand holds the spindle.
20
She extends her hand to the poor, Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21
She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22
She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
