Giddy G - Proverbs 31:10-31 Lyrics

A wife of noble character who can find?
She's worth far more than rubies
Her husband has full confidence in her
And lacks nothing of value
She brings him good
Not harm
All the days of her life
She selects wool and flax
And works with eager hands
She's like the merchant ships, bringing her food
From afar
She gets up while it's still night
She provides food for her family
And portions for her female servants
She considers a field and buys it
Out of her earnings she plants a vineyard
She sets about her work vigorously
Her arms are strong for her tasks
She sees that her trading is profitable
And her lamp does not go out at night
In her hand she holds the distaff And grasps the spindle with her fingers
She opens her arms to the poor And extends her hands to the needy
When it snows, she has no fear for her household
For all of them are clothed in scarlet
She makes coverings for her bed
She's clothed in fine linen and purple
Her husband is respected
At the city gate, where he takes his seat
Among the elders of the land
She makes linen garments and sells them
And supplies the merchants with sashes
She's clothed with strength and dignity
She can laugh at the days to come
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful
Instruction is on her tongue
She watches over the affairs
Of her household and does not eat the bread
Of idleness, her children
Arise and call her blessed
Her husband also, and he praises her
Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting
But a woman who fears the Lord
Is to be praised, honor her
For all that her hands have done And let her works bring her praise at the city gate
