New Testament

Proverbs 31:20-30 Common English Bible (CEB)

20. She reaches out to the needy;she stretches out her hands to the poor.

21. She doesn’t fear for her household when it snows,because they are all dressed in warm clothes.

22. She makes bedspreads for herself;fine linen and purple are her clothing.

23. Her husband is known in the city gateswhen he sits with the elders of the land.

24. She makes garments and sells them;she supplies sashes to traders.

25. Strength and honor are her clothing;she is confident about the future.

26. Her mouth is full of wisdom;kindly teaching is on her tongue.

27. She is vigilant over the activities of her household;she doesn’t eat the food of laziness.

28. Her children bless her;her husband praises her:

29. "Many women act competently,but you surpass them all!"

30. Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting,but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
