Proverb 31:10-31 as an acrostic
A capable wife
who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
Believe me her
husband trusts her fully, and he’ll gain much.
Choosing wool and
flax, handicraft is her work.
Delightful foods
from far away she brings, for she is like a merchant ship.
Early to rise she
is, providing food for her family and tasks for her help.
Fields she looks
at and buys; with the fruit of her hands she plants vineyards.
Gaining strength
and holding great power is what she does.
Her merchandise
always turns a profit, and she works at all hours.
I am amazed at
her industry when she works with wool
Just look at her generosity!
She is always there with open hands to those in need.
Kindly take note,
her house is always in good repair and looks quite friendly.
Look at her home
made clothing, look how exotic and elegant it is!
Men from all over
talk about how virtuous her husband is, she’s behind that too!
No one out sells
her when it comes to garments, both at home and abroad!
O’ look how well
she dresses, so prepared for all seasons.
Proverbs and
wisdom spill from her mouth, she teaches kindness all her days.
Quiet diligence
is what they call her home, it is never idle.
Rightly her
children praise her, her husband, her whole family.
Saying, “There
are many good and successful women, but you, you surpass them all.”
Truly she is a
woman of wisdom, who “fears the LORD.”
Unleash her on
the world, they’ll praise her everywhere.
