14 She is like a merchant’s ship,bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her householdand plan the day’s work for her servant girls.
16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She is energetic and strong,a hard worker.
18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;her lamp burns late into the night.
19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,her fingers twisting fiber.
20 She extends a helping hand to the poorand opens her arms to the needy.
