Proverbs 31:24

WorkMoney and wealth

22 She makes coverings for her bed; her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is known at the city gate, where he sits among the elders of the land.

She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchants.

25 Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
