The Virtuous Wife

The Virtuous Wife

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night, and provides food for her household, and a portion for her maidservants. She considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength, and strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out by night. She stretches out her hands to the distaff, and her hand holds the spindle. She extends her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household is clothed with scarlet. She makes tapestry for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for the merchants. Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many daughters have done well, but you excel them all.” Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.

PROVERBS 31 WOMAN


She is the most rare gem.
She walks with confidence before them.
She lacks nothing all her days.
And goodness is what she rays.

She works with a servant's heart.
Decisions she makes are always smart.
Her light is always on to shine before men.
To those in need and poverty, her hand, she lends.

Her household is covered with her love.
She is one sent from above.
She picks a man who sits among the wise,
Her profits are always the right size.

Strength is at her heart's core.
Her laughter is the most adored.
Words of Christ are out of her mouth.
Her actions are never in doubt.

She is productive as a woman should be.
She is blessed, do you see?
All of the noble, she surpasses.
Like David, she always dances.

She is more than beauty, more than charm.
Her praise of God is in lifted arms.
Her rewards are in the Heaven's gate.
To catch her, true love of Jesus is your bait.
