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.
24 She makes linen garments and sells
them,And supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor
are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
