Proverbs 31:18

She makes sure that the result of her work is good, [Literally "she tastes the work"; she has a sensitivity and knows what is good and bad for the family.]
her lamp (spirit, zest for life) does not go out at night. [Night can symbolize times of trouble, sorrow, and anxiety. Despite difficulties, she does not give up.]
[The ninth Hebrew letter is: ט – Tet. The character depicts a head and a tail and represents either a snake in a basket or a person bowing in humility. Paradoxically, the letter can symbolize both evil and good – either rebelliousness or goodness. In this verse, the verb "She makes sure" begins with this letter. Here, it reinforces that she knows what is good and what is bad. She is spiritually alert and knows what brings the family together and what divides it.]
