Proverbs 31:23-31

New Revised Standard NRS

23 Her husband is known in the city gates, taking his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them; she supplies the merchant with sashes.

25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.

26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

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

28 Her children rise up and call her happy; her husband too, and he praises her:

29 "Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all."

30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

31 Give her a share in the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the city gates.
