Proverbs 31:10-17

English Standard Version

^{10 [a] (A)}An excellent wife who can find?
    She is far more precious than ^(B)jewels.
¹¹ The heart of her husband trusts in her,
    and he will have no lack of gain.
¹² She does him good, and not harm,
    all the days of her life.
¹³ She ^(C)seeks wool and flax,
    and works with willing hands.
¹⁴ She is like the ships of the merchant;
    she brings her food from afar.
¹⁵ She ^(D)rises while it is yet night
    and ^(E)provides food for her household
    and portions for her maidens.
¹⁶ She considers a field and buys it;
    with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
¹⁷ She ^(F)dresses herself^[b] with strength
    and makes her arms strong.
