Proverbs

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. ²¹She is not afraid of the snow for her household; For all her household are clothed with scarlet. ²²She maketh for herself carpets of tapestry; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
