Proverbs 31:24-31 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

24. She makes linen clothes and sells them. She supplies belts to the traders.

25. She puts on strength and honor as if they were her clothes. She can laugh at the days that are coming.

26. She speaks wisely. She teaches faithfully.

27. She watches over family matters. She is busy all the time.

28. Her children stand up and call her blessed. Her husband also rises up, and he praises her.

29. He says, "Many women do noble things. But you are better than all the others."

30. Charm can fool you. Beauty fades. But a woman who has respect for the Lord should be praised.

31. Give her the reward she has earned. Let everything she has done bring praise to her at the city gate.
