Proverbs 31:13-15

She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

One thing is clear from the above passages--the virtuous woman is not lazy! She not only works willingly with her hands, but is willing to loose sleep, getting up while it is yet night, to make sure that her whole household has food, (and clothing).

God Bless You!

FEATURED FUNNY:

My English professor was stopped for speeding. When asked why she was driving so fast, she quoted Robert Frost: "I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep."

"But, Miss," replied the officer, obviously familiar with the poet, "Frost chose the road less traveled, and unfortunately for you, this wasn't it."
