Proverbs 31:10-12, 15, 20, 26-27, 29-30

Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.

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

She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy.

When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness.

“There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!” Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised.
