    and her hands hold the spindle.
20 She (A)opens her hand to (B)the poor
    and reaches out her hands to (C)the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
    for all her household are clothed in (D)scarlet.[a]
22 She makes (E)bed coverings for herself;
    her clothing is (F)fine linen and (G)purple.
23 Her husband is known in (H)the gates
    when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes (I)linen garments and sells them;
    she delivers sashes to the merchant.
