Proverbs 31:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 She is like merchant ships,
accumulating a store of food from far off.
15 She rises while it is still dark[a]
and apportions food for her household
while assigning tasks to her servant girls.
16 She carefully chooses a field to purchase,
and out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.[b]
