Who can
find a virtuous girl?
For her
price is far above sugar and spice and all that's nice.
The heart
of her parents doeth safely trust in her,
because she
has never lied to them.
She will be
obedient and not disobedient all the days of her life.
She seeketh
thread, and a needle, and learns to sew.
She loves
to do things for her family.
She rises
early and helps cook breakfast
And shares
her cinnamon roll with her little sister.
She gets
her allowance and spends it wisely,
And makes
sure she gives some to the Lord.
She goes
running with her family and strengtheneth her body.
She makes
sure her money is good.
Her candle
goeth not out till she hath finished what she has to do.
She learns
how to sew and her hands hold the needle and thread.
She goes
with her family and helps the poor in need.
She is not
afraid of the snow
because she
has learned to make warm clothes.
Her
clothing is good and soft.
She
welcomes her father when he comes home.
She sews
warm clothes and sells it to the needy.
Happiness
and praise are her clothing;
And she
shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth
her mouth with wise things to say
And in her
tongue are kind words.
She always
looks beautiful no matter what
And does
not do anything bad.
Her parents
arise up and praise her,
And her
brothers and sisters love her.
When she
gets married her daughters will be virtuous
And she
will excel in all she does.
Foolishness
is bad, and beauty is vain,
But a girl
that loves the Lord she shall be praised.
Give her of
the fruit of her hands
And let her
own works praise her in the gates.
