Proverbs 31:16-24 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

16. She considers a field and buys it. She uses some of the money she earns to plant a vineyard.

17. She gets ready to work hard. Her arms are strong.

18. She sees that her trading earns a lot of money. Her lamp doesn't go out at night.

19. With one hand she holds the wool. With the other she spins the thread.

20. She opens her arms to those who are poor. She reaches out her hands to those who are needy.

21. When it snows, she's not afraid for her family. All of them are dressed in the finest clothes.

22. She makes her own bed coverings. She is dressed in fine linen and purple clothes.

23. Her husband is respected at the city gate. There he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24. She makes linen clothes and sells them. She supplies belts to the traders.
