Proverbs 31:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 She seeks out wool and flax
and weaves with skillful hands.
14 Like a merchant fleet,[a]
she secures her provisions from afar.
15 She rises while it is still night,
and distributes food to her household,
a portion to her maidservants.
Footnotes
- 31:14 Like a merchant fleet: she has her eye on the far horizon, like the ship of a merchant ready to bring supplies into her larder. It is the only simile (“like”) in the poem.
