For her price is much higher than jewels. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> The heart of her husband has faith in her, and he will have profit in full measure. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> She gets wool and linen, working at the business of her hands. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> She is like the trading-ships, getting food from far away. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> She gets up while it is still night, and gives meat to her family, and their food to her servant-girls. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> After looking at a field with care, she gets it for a price, planting a vine-garden with the profit of her work. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> She puts a band of strength round her, and makes her arms strong. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> She sees that her marketing is of profit to her: her light does not go out by night. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> She puts her hands to the cloth-working rod, and her fingers take the wheel. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Her hands are stretched out to the poor; yes, she is open-handed to those who are in need. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> She has no fear of the snow for her family, for all those in her house are clothed in red. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> She makes for herself cushions of needlework; her clothing is fair linen and purple. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> Her husband is a man of note in the public place, when he takes his seat among the responsible men of the land. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> She makes linen robes and gets a price for them, and traders take her cloth bands for a price. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Strength and self-respect are her clothing; she is facing the future with a smile. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> Her mouth is open to give out wisdom, and the law of mercy is on her tongue. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> Her children get up and give her honour, and her husband gives her praise, saying, <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> Unnumbered women have done well, but you are better than all of them. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> Fair looks are a deceit, and a beautiful form is of no value; but a woman who has the fear of the Lord is to be praised. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> Give her credit for what her hands have made: let her be praised by her works in the public place. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot =
