She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.

She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.

In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens.

She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.

She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.

She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.

She is energetic and strong, a hard worker.

Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber.

She rises while it is still night  and provides food for her household and portions  for her female servants.

She draws on her strength  and reveals that her arms are strong.

She extends her hands to the spinning staff, and her hands hold the spindle.

She riseth also while it is yet night, And giveth meat to her household, And a portion to her maidens.

She girdeth her loins with strength, And strengtheneth her arms.

She layeth her hands to the spindle, And her hands hold the distaff.

She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidservants.

She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms.

She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hand holds the spindle.

A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds. Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it. Never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long. She shops around for the best yarns and cottons, and enjoys knitting and sewing. She’s like a trading ship that sails to faraway places and brings back exotic surprises. She’s up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family and organizing her day. She looks over a field and buys it, then, with money she’s put aside, plants a garden. First thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started. She senses the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day. She’s skilled in the crafts of home and hearth, diligent in homemaking. She’s quick to assist anyone in need, reaches out to help the poor. She doesn’t worry about her family when it snows; their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear. She makes her own clothing, and dresses in colorful linens and silks. Her husband is greatly respected when he deliberates with the city fathers. She designs gowns and sells them, brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops. Her clothes are well-made and elegant, and she always faces tomorrow with a smile. When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly. She keeps an eye on everyone in her household, and keeps them all busy and productive. Her children respect and bless her; her husband joins in with words of praise: “Many women have done wonderful things, but you’ve outclassed them all!” Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-GOD. Give her everything she deserves! Adorn her life with praises!
