Proverbs 31:10-31
New Living Translation (NLT)
A Wife of Noble Character
10 [a]Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies.
11 Her husband can trust her,
and she will greatly enrich his life.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She finds wool and flax
and busily spins it.
14 She is like a merchant’s ship,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.
16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;
with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She is energetic and strong,
a hard worker.
18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
her lamp burns late into the night.
19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,
her fingers twisting fiber.
20 She extends a helping hand to the poor
and opens her arms to the needy.
21 She has no fear of winter for her household,
for everyone has warm[b] clothes.
22 She makes her own bedspreads.
She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
23 Her husband is well known at the city gates,
where he sits with the other civic leaders.
24 She makes belted linen garments
and sashes to sell to the merchants.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future.
26 When she speaks, her words are wise,
and she gives instructions with kindness.
27 She carefully watches everything in her household
and suffers nothing from laziness.
28 Her children stand and bless her.
Her husband praises her:
29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
but you surpass them all!”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
31 Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

Just as we teach our children the 23rd Psalms and other familiar scripture in the bible, I think we need to begin teaching this to our little girls. Society have the women confused about who they are and how they should carry themselves. In my opinion, I think that the role model for our young ladies should be this virtuous woman. We should teach them the word and then be an example unto them as to how this look.
Praise God, Lord teach me how to be that proverbs 31 woman.
If you follow this woman you will be blessed - fear the Lord.
Amen! Christian women anthem.... someone we must continually strive to be! The virtues of this woman!
A virtous indeed I've watch my Mother be a virtous women over the years growing up, I never thought I could measure up. She is everything it speaks about in this message and I admire and adore the wog she is. Thank you Lord for where I am now as a wog striving to be who you Lord want me to be.
