Proverbs31:13
13 She seeketh wool, and flax , and worketh willingly with her hands .
That she may find employment for her servants, and not suffer them to spend all their time unprofitably in ease and idleness.
She encourageth them to work by her example; which was a common practice among Princesses in those first and purest ages of the world. Not that it is the duty of Kings & Queens to use manual or mechanical operations, but that it is the duty of all persons, the greatest not excepted, to improve all their Talents, and particularly their time, which is one of the noblest of them, one way or other to the service of that God to whom they must give an account, and to the good of that community to which they are related and obliged.
