15 aShe also rises while it is yet night,
And
bprovides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From
1 her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise
is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 aShe extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household
is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing
is fine linen and purple.
23 aHer husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
