Praise a Capable Wife

An excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels;
The husband’s heart trusts as kind,
Wears conservative apparels.

He is having no lack of gain,
She does him good and does no harm;
All the days of her life no pain,
Nothing that would cause an alarm.

She is seeking some flax and wool,
To work willingly with her hands;
Because she has the proper tool,
From the pattern to knit the strands.

She has been like the merchant ships,
As she brings her food from afar;
With ample loads of fish and chips,
That she had brought within her car.

She rises while it’s still night,
Providing food for her household;
And works until the dawn of light,
Seeing as the morning will unfold.

She considers a field to buy,
As she plants a vineyard for fruit;
Her work is pleasing to her eye,
Ensuring that the vines take root.

She girds her loins giving her strength,
And that is making her arms strong;
She perseveres at any length,
Continuing through all the day long.

She perceives her products are good,
Her candle goes not out at night;
Not getting the rest that she should,
Remains till the dawn of the light.
