Proverbs

¹⁴She is like the merchant-ships; She bringeth her bread from afar. ¹⁵She riseth also while it is yet night, And giveth food to her household, And their task to her maidens. ¹⁶She considereth a field, and buyeth it; With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. ¹⁷She girdeth her loins with strength, And maketh strong her arms. ¹⁸She perceiveth that her merchandise is profitable: Her lamp goeth not out by night. ¹⁹She layeth her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold the spindle. ²⁰She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
