Proverbs

¹⁴She is like the merchant-ships; she bringeth her food from afar. ¹⁵She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat 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 spreadeth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
