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

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.

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
