THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN

●Who can find a virtuous woman ? For her price is far more than rubies.

●The heart of her husband safely trust in her ,so that he shall have no need of spoil.

●She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

●She seeks wool,flax, and work willingly with her hands.

●She is like the merchant’s ship;she brings her food from a far.

●She rises also while it is yet night,and gives meat to her house hold,and a portion to her      maidens.

●She considers a field, and buys it; with the fruit of her hands, she plants the vineyard.

●She girds her loins with strength,and strengths her arms.

●She perceives that her merchandise is good:her candle does not go out by night.

●She lays her hands to the spindle,and her hands hold the distaff.

●She stretches out her hand to the poor; yea she reaches her hands to the needy.

●She is not afraid of the snow;for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

●She makes fine linen,and sells it;delivers girdles to the merchant.

●Strength and honour are her clothing;she shall rejoice in time to come.

●She opens her mouth with wisdom;and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

●She looks well to the ways of her household,and eats not the bread of idleness.

●Her children arise up,and call her blessed;her husband also praise her saying “Many daughters have done virtuously but you excell them all”

●That is when I was lightened with the words,”VANITY IS DECEITFUL,AND BEAUTY IS VAIN:BUT A WOMAN WHO FEARS LORD SHALL BE PRAISED”.

●Give her the fruit of her hands;and let her own works praise her in the gates…!
