Proverbs 31:16 — Meaning and Application

She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. {buyeth: Heb. taketh}

She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

She perceiveth that her merchandise {is} good: her candle goeth not out by night. {She...: Heb. She tasteth}
