New International Version

Proverbs 31:7-15 New International Version (NIV)

7. Let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.

8. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.

9. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.

10. A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

11. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.

12. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.

13. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.

14. She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.

15. She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.
