a wife
a wife of noble character who can find?
she is worth far more than Rubies,
her hubby has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value
she brings him good, not harm all the days of their life.
she selects wool and flex and works with eager hands,
she gets up while its still dusk;
she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls,
she consides afield and buys it...
out of her earning she plants it with love and care,
she sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her task and yet tender.....
she sees that her trading is profitable..
and her lamp dosnt go out at night,
in hwer hands holds the distaff and grasps the spidles with her fingers.
she opens her arms t the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
when it rains she has no fear of her household,
for all are clothed in warmth scarlet.
she makes covering for her bedding and is clothed in fine linen and purple,
her hubby is respected at the city gates...
where he takes his seat among elders and peers.....
charm is deceptive, beauity is fleeting....but awoman who fears the lord...
is to be Praised.
give her the rewards she has earned and let her work bring her praises at the city gates
