          "english": "A woman of valor, who can find? Her price is far beyond pearls. Her husband’s heart relies on her, and he lacks no gain. She yields him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She looks for wool and linen, and labors with willing hands. Like a ship loaded with wares, she brings her food from afar. She rises while night yet remains, giving food to her household, allotments to her maids. She weighs a field and purchases it; from her earnings she plants a vineyard. She binds herself with strength, and steadies her arms for her tasks. She perceives that her trade prospers; her lamp does not go out at night. She takes the distaff in her hand, and grips the spindle with her palms. She stretches her palm toward the poor, and extends her hand toward the needy. She fears not for her family when snow falls, for all her household is clad in crimson wool. She fashions elegant coverings; her garments are fine linen and purple wool. Her husband is renowned in the gates, where he sits with the elders of the land. She fashions linen garments and sells them, and furnishes traders with sashes. She is robed in strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She oversees her household's ways, and never eats the bread of idleness. Her children arise and pronounce her happy; her husband also praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful and beauty vain; it is the God-fearing woman who deserves praise. Grant her the reward she has earned; let her works bring her praise in the gates.",

In a series of scenes it describes an ideal woman: active, practical, a businesswoman as well as director of the household, involved in the welfare of strangers as well as her family, a woman of wisdom and kindness, “clothed with strength and dignity.” The word ḥayil in the opening phrase signifies strength, both moral and physical. Many of the commentators see the woman in this passage as a symbol of the Divine Presence (or Shabbat itself, personified as a bride). Without negating this allegorical meaning, the poem is also a hymn of thanks to the female head of the household for the blessings she brings to the family and the home."
