Proverbs 31:18

American Standard Version (1901)

She perceiveth that her merchandise is profitable; Her lamp goeth not out by night.

See the chapter Copy

For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

It is vain for you to rise up early, To take rest late, To eat the bread of toil; For so he giveth unto his beloved sleep.

Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.

His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.

She girdeth her loins with strength, And maketh strong her arms.

She layeth her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold the spindle.
