Portait of a virtuous woman
My
highlighted verse: Proverbs 31:10
¶Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband
doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good
and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and
flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants'
ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while
it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her
maidens.
16 She considereth a field,
and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins
with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that
her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands
to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out
her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of
the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself
coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known
in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen,
and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour
are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth
with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to
the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise
up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have
done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful,
and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit
of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
