Enjoyment in Proverbs

Proverbs 31:10  Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above jewels.
31:11  The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain.
31:12  She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.
31:13  She seeks wool and flax, And delights to work with her hands.
31:14  She is like the merchant ships; She brings her food from afar.
31:15  She rises also while it is still night And gives food to her household, And their task to her serving girls.
31:16  She considers a field and buys it; With the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
31:17  She girds her loins with strength And makes strong her arms.
31:18  She samples her merchandise to be sure it is good; Her lamp does not go out by night.
31:19  She lays her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold on to the spindle.
31:20  She stretches out her hand to the afflicted, And she reaches out her hands to the needy.
31:21  She does not fear for her household when it snows, For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
31:22  She makes coverings for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
31:23  Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.
31:24  She makes linen garments and sells them And delivers girdles to the merchant.
31:25  Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she happily looks forward to the time to come.
31:26  She opens her mouth with wisdom, And the law of kindness is on her tongue.
31:27  She watches closely over the ways of her household And does not eat the bread of idleness.
31:28  Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
31:29  Many daughters have done worthily, But you surpass them all.
31:30  Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman who fears Jehovah, she will be praised.
31:31  Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates.
