Proverbs 31:21-31 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

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

22. She maketh herself coverlets; her clothing is byssus and purple.

23. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

24. She maketh body linen and selleth it, and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laugheth at the coming day.

26. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and upon her tongue is the law of kindness.

27. She surveyeth the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

28. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her:

29. Many daughters have done worthily, but thou excellest them all.

30. Gracefulness is deceitful and beauty is vain; a woman that feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised.

31. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.
