Proverbs 31:11
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the poor and needy.
10 A wife of noble character, who can find? She is far more precious than rubies.
The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good and not harm all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
