Proverbs 31:13-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

13. She has sought wool and flax, and she has worked these by the counsel of her hands.

14. She has become like a merchant's ship, bringing her bread from far away.

15. And she has risen in the night, and given a prey to her household, and provisions to her maids.

16. She has considered a field and bought it. From the fruit of her own hands, she has planted a vineyard.

17. She has wrapped her waist with fortitude, and she has strengthened her arm.

18. She has tasted and seen that her tasks are good; her lamp shall not be extinguished at night.

19. She has put her hand to strong things, and her fingers have taken hold of the spindle.
