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 spreadeth 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.
