Who can find a virtuous man? For his price is far above emeralds.
The heart of his wife safely trusts in him, so that she will have no fear of betrayal, neglect, abuse, or pornography.
He will do her good and not evil all the days of his life.
He seeketh resources and worketh willingly with his hands.
He is like the merchants ships; he bringeth home the best deals from afar.
He riseth while it is yet night, and repaireth the broken appliances.
He considereth the yard, and moweth it. With the tools of his garage, he trims the bushes and the trees, and planteth a garden.
He girdeth his loins with strength, and strengtheneth his arms at the gym.
He layeth his hands to the hammer, and his hands hold the nails and the screwdriver.
He stretcheth out his hands to the poor; yea, he moveth families with the elders quorum and passeth along job opportunities.
He is not afraid of the weather for his household: for all the house is in good repair.
He picketh out coverings of cotton and fine knit; his clothing is denim or a spiffy black suit and tie.
His wife is known in the city, when she sitteth among the women to talk.
He starteth a business and buildeth it. He delivers excellent goods and services to his customers.
Strength and honour are his clothing; and he shall rejoice in time to come.
He openeth his mouth with wisdom; and in his tongue is the law of kindness and integrity.
He looketh well to the ways of his business and employment, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
His children arise up, and call him awesome; his wife also, and she praiseth him.
Many sons have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favour is deceitful, and rugged good looks are vain, but a man that feareth the Lord, he shall be praised.
Give him the fruit of his hands; and let his own works praise him on the news.
