A truly good wife
is the most precious treasure
a man can find!
11
Her husband depends on her,
and she never
lets him down.
12
She is good to him
every day of her life,
13
and with her own hands
she gladly makes clothes.
14
She is like a sailing ship
that brings food
from across the sea.
15
She gets up before daylight
to prepare food
for her family
and for her servants.[a]
16
She knows how to buy land
and how to plant a vineyard,
17
and she always works hard.
18
She knows when to buy or sell,
and she stays busy
until late at night.
19
She spins her own cloth,
20
and she helps the poor
and the needy.
21
Her family has warm clothing,
and so she doesn’t worry
when it snows.
22
She does her own sewing,
and everything she wears
is beautiful.
23
Her husband is a well-known
and respected leader
in the city.
24
She makes clothes to sell
to the shop owners.
25
She is strong and graceful,[b]
as well as cheerful
about the future.
26
Her words are sensible,
and her advice
is thoughtful.
27
She takes good care
of her family
and is never lazy.
28
Her children praise her,
and with great pride
her husband says,
29
“There are many good women,
but you are the best!”
30
Charm can be deceiving,
and beauty fades away,
but a woman
who honors the Lord
deserves to be praised.
31
Show her respect—
praise her in public
for what she has done.
