Proverbs31:27

27 She looketh well to the ways of her houshold , and eateth not the bread of idleness .

She diligently observeth the management and progress of her domestick business, and the whole carriage and conversation of her Children and Servants. Whereby also he intimates that she spends not her time in gadding abroad to other Houses, and idle Discourses about the concerns of other persons, as the manner of many Women is, but is wholly intent upon her own house and proper business.

That which is got by idleness, or without labour.
