Proverbs 31:16-26 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

16. She shall consider a field and buy it; From her profits she shall plant a vineyard.

17. She shall gird herself with strength, And strengthen her arms.

18. She shall taste when her gain is good; Her lamp does not go out by night.

19. She shall stretch out her hands to the distaff, And her hand shall hold the spindle.

20. She shall extend her hand to the poor, And she shall reach out her hands to the needy.

21. She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is dressed in scarlet.

22. She shall make tapestry for herself; She is dressed in fine linen and purple.

23. Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.

24. She shall make fine linen and sell them, And shall give girdles for the merchants.

25. Strength and splendour are her garments, And she rejoices in time to come.

26. She shall open her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the Torah of kindness.
