| 10 | A good wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. | The capable wife. Pr.31.10-31 | אֵשֶׁת־חַיִל מִי יִמְצָא וְרָחֹק מִפְּנִינִים מִכְרָהּ׃ |
| 11 | The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. | בָּטַח בָּהּ לֵב בַּעְלָהּ וְשָׁלָל לֹא יֶחְסָר׃ | |
| 12 | She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. | גְּמָלַתְהוּ טֹוב וְלֹא־רָע כֹּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיה׃ | |
| 13 | She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. | דָּרְשָׁה צֶמֶר וּפִשְׁתִּים וַתַּעַשׂ בְּחֵפֶץ כַּפֶּיהָ׃ | |
| 14 | She is like the ships of the merchant, she brings her food from afar. | הָיְתָה כָּאֳנִיֹּות סֹוחֵר מִמֶּרְחָק תָּבִיא לַחְמָהּ׃ | |
| 15 | She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and tasks for her maidens. | וַתָּקָם בְּעֹוד לַיְלָה וַתִּתֵּן טֶרֶף לְבֵיתָהּ וְחֹק לְנַעֲרֹתֶיהָ׃ | |
| 16 | She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. | זָמְמָה שָׂדֶה וַתִּקָּחֵהוּ מִפְּרִי כַפֶּיהָ כ= נְטַע ק= נָטְעָה כָּרֶם׃ | |
| 17 | She girds her loins with strength and makes her arms strong. | חָגְרָה בְעֹוז מָתְנֶיהָ וַתְּאַמֵּץ זְרֹעֹותֶיהָ׃ | |
| 18 | She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. | טָעֲמָה כִּי־טֹוב סַחְרָהּ לֹא־יִכְבֶּה כ= בַלַּיִל ק= בַלַּיְלָה נֵרָהּ׃ | |
| 19 | She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. | יָדֶיהָ שִׁלְּחָה בַכִּישֹׁור וְכַפֶּיהָ תָּמְכוּ פָלֶךְ׃ | |
| 20 | She opens her hand to the poor, and reaches out her hands to the needy. | כַּפָּהּ פָּרְשָׂה לֶעָנִי וְיָדֶיהָ שִׁלְּחָה לָאֶבְיֹון׃ | |
| 21 | She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. | לֹא־תִירָא לְבֵיתָהּ מִשָּׁלֶג כִּי כָל־בֵּיתָהּ לָבֻשׁ שָׁנִים׃ | |
| 22 | She makes herself coverings; her clothing is fine linen and purple. | מַרְבַדִּים עָשְׂתָה־לָּהּ שֵׁשׁ וְאַרְגָּמָן לְבוּשָׁהּ׃ | |
| 23 | Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. | נֹודָע בַּשְּׁעָרִים בַּעְלָהּ בְּשִׁבְתֹּו עִם־זִקְנֵי־אָרֶץ׃ | |
| 24 | She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers girdles to the merchant. | סָדִין עָשְׂתָה וַתִּמְכֹּר וַחֲגֹור נָתְנָה לַכְּנַעֲנִי׃ | |
| 25 | Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. | עֹז־וְהָדָר לְבוּשָׁהּ וַתִּשְׂחַק לְיֹום אַחֲרֹון׃ | |
| 26 | She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. | פִּיהָ פָּתְחָה בְחָכְמָה וְתֹורַת־חֶסֶד עַל־לְשֹׁונָהּ׃ | |
| 27 | She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. | צֹופִיָּה הֲלִיכֹות בֵּיתָהּ וְלֶחֶם עַצְלוּת לֹא תֹאכֵל׃ | |
| 28 | Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: | קָמוּ בָנֶיהָ וַיְאַשְּׁרוּהָ בַּעְלָהּ וַיְהַלְלָהּ׃ | |
| 29 | "Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all." | רַבֹּות בָּנֹות עָשׂוּ חָיִל וְאַתְּ עָלִית עַל־כֻּלָּנָה׃ | |
| 30 | Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears Yahweh is to be praised. | שֶׁקֶר הַחֵן וְהֶבֶל הַיֹּפִי אִשָּׁה יִרְאַת־יְהוָה הִיא תִתְהַלָּל׃ | |
| 31 | Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates. | תְּנוּ־לָהּ מִפְּרִי יָדֶיהָ וִיהַלְלוּהָ בַשְּׁעָרִים מַעֲשֶׂיהָ׃ | |
