"Who can find a virtuous wife?  For her worth is far above rubies. . . .
She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. . . .
She stretches out her hands to the distaff, and her hand holds the spindle . . . .
She makes tapestry for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. . . .
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for the merchants . . . .
She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord . . .
      she shall be praised."   (Proverbs 31:10-31, NKJV)
