The Woman Who Fears the Lord

10 ^{▼▼Verses 10–31 are an acrostic poem, each verse beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet} ^jAn excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than ^kjewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good, and not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She ^lseeks wool and flax,
and works with willing hands.
14 She is like the ships of the merchant;
she brings her food from afar.
15 She ^mrises while it is yet night
and ⁿprovides food for her household
and portions for her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She ^odresses herself ^{▼▼Hebrew She girds her loins} with strength
and makes her arms strong.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She puts her hands to the distaff,
and her hands hold the spindle.
20 She ^qopens her hand to ^rthe poor
and reaches out her hands to ^sthe needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
for all her household are clothed in ^tscarlet. ^{▼▼Or in double thickness}
22 She makes ^vbed coverings for herself;
her clothing is ^wfine linen and ^xpurple.
23 Her husband is known in ^ythe gates
when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes ^zlinen garments and sells them;
she delivers sashes to the merchant.
25 ^aaStrength and dignity are her clothing,
and she laughs at the time to come.
