Proverbs 31:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 She rises while it is still dark[a]
and apportions food for her household
while assigning tasks to her servant girls.
16 She carefully chooses a field to purchase,
and out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.[b]
17 She girds herself to work
and plies her arms with vigor.
