    and makes her arms strong.

19 She puts her hands to the distaff,
    and her hands hold the spindle.
20 She (B)opens her hand to (C)the poor
    and reaches out her hands to (D)the needy.

    for all her household are clothed in (E)scarlet.[b]
22 She makes (F)bed coverings for herself;
    her clothing is (G)fine linen and (H)purple.
