15 She gets up while it is still night;she provides food for her familyand portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaffand grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poorand extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
