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;
From¹ her profits she plants a vineyard. ‡

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. ‡
