Proverbs 31:19-24
19She stretches out her hands to the 1distaff, And her 2hands grasp the spindle.20She 34extends her hand to the poor, And she stretches out her hands to the needy.21She is not afraid of the snow for her household, For all her household are 5clothed with scarlet.22She makes 6coverings for herself; Her clothing is 7fine linen and 8purple.23Her husband is known 9in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.24She makes 10linen garments and sells them, And 11supplies belts to the 12tradesmen.
