The woman of character, where is she to be found? She is more precious than any jewel. The prudent woman, where is she to be found? The woman who is wise is the one to praise. She is strong and dignified and looks with confidence to the future. She speaks wisely and her words are kind. She is full of energy and her arms show her strength. She knows her work is successful and, at night, her light remains unextinguished. She considers her steps and acts with reflection. She considers her steps to understand her way. Prudent intelligence wins her favour. She who guards her mouth and her tongue, guards her soul from troubles. She finds her security in the fear of the Lord, she finds much refuge in Him. She entrusts all that she does to the Almighty and her plans are realized. For her, an honest answer is as a kiss on the lips. She is like the merchant ships which bring provisions from afar. Her heart is made glad. For this woman wears her crown, with Wisdom at her table, where peace and good health flourish; knowledge and prudence rain down. 29.05.24
