21She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
         For all her household are clothed with scarlet.

22She makes coverings for herself;
         Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23Her husband is known in the gates,
         When he sits among the elders of the land.

24She makes linen garments and sells them,
         And supplies belts to the tradesmen.

25Strength and dignity are her clothing,
         And she smiles at the future.

26She opens her mouth in wisdom,
         And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

27She looks well to the ways of her household,
         And does not eat the bread of idleness.

28Her children rise up and bless her;
         Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:

29“Many daughters have done nobly,
         But you excel them all.”

30Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
         But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

31Give her the product of her hands,
         And let her works praise her in the gates.
