Proverbs 31:10-31 kJV

• Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price [is] far above rubies.
• The heart of her husband doth 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 seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
• She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
• She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
• She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
• She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
• She perceiveth that her merchandise [is] good: her candle goeth not out by night.
• She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
• She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
• She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household [are] clothed with scarlet.
• She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing [is] silk and purple.
• Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
• She maketh fine linen, and selleth [it]; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
• Strength and honour [are] her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
• She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue [is] the law of kindness.
• She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
• Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband [also], and he praiseth her.
• Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
• Favour [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain: [but] a woman [that] feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
• Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

4. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

8. He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9. But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts.

13. They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and a roaring lion.
14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17. I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.
18. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19. But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
