Proverbs 31
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

11 Ref The heart of her husband hath trusted in her, And spoil he lacketh not.
12 Ref She hath done him good, and not evil, All days of her life.
13 Ref She hath sought wool and flax, And with delight she worketh `with' her hands.
14 Ref She hath been as ships of the merchant, From afar she bringeth in her bread.
15 Ref Yea, she riseth while yet night, And giveth food to her household, And a portion to her damsels.
16 Ref She hath considered a field, and taketh it, From the fruit of her hands she hath planted a vineyard.
17 Ref She hath girded with might her loins, And doth strengthen her arms.
18 Ref She hath perceived when her merchandise `is' good, Her lamp is not extinguished in the night.
19 Ref Her hands she hath sent forth on a spindle, And her hands have held a distaff.
