A Woman of Valor
A woman of valor who can find
Her worth is far beyond pearls
Her husband's heart trusts in her
And he shall lack no fortune
She does him good and not harm
All the days of her life
She seeks out wool and flax
And cheerfully does the work of her hands
She is like a merchant fleet
She brings her food from afar
She rises while it is still night
And supplies provisions for her household
And a portion for her maidservants
She considers a field and buys it
From her earnings she plants a vineyard
She girds her loins with strength
And makes her arms strong
