Proverbs

⁹Speak 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. ¹¹Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. ¹²She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. ¹³She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. ¹⁴She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. ¹⁵She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.
