Text Based On Proverbs Chapter 31
Her children arise up, and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Who Can Find a Virtuous Woman?
Who can find a virtuous woman?
She’s worth more than gems of great price.
Trust is hers from the heart of her husband;
She does him well each day of her life.
Favour’s deceitful; beauty is vain.
She shall be praised who fears the Lord.
Give her the fruits of her own labour;
Yes, let her works give her praise in the gates.
Who can find a virtuous woman?
Wool and flax she seeks for her work.
Willingly busy, her hands hold the distaff;
All plainly see her product is good.
Clothing her family, dressing them well
She is prepared for winter and cold.
Her generous spirit teaches the needy;
Many do well, but she excels all.
Who can find a virtuous woman?
Bringing food like ships from afar.
Early she rises and serves a warm breakfast;
Planning the day with loving concern.
Daybreak to nightfall, every day counts;
Meeting each challenge finding success.
Planning a vineyard, selling to merchants,
Serving her family in every respect.
Who can find a virtuous woman?
Helpful kindness guides all her words.
Honour and strength give her cause for rejoicing.
Husband and child give praise that is due.
Favour’s deceitful, beauty is vain.
She shall be praised who fears the Lord.
Give her the fruits of her own labour;
Yes, let her works give her praise in the gates.
