Proverbs 31:16-22
Lexham English Bible
16 She considers a field and buys it,
from the fruit of her hand[a] she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds her waist in strength,
and makes her arms strong.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good;
her lamp does not go out in the night.
19 Her hands she puts onto the distaff,[b]
and her palms hold a spindle.
20 Her palm she opens to the poor,
and her hand she reaches out to the needy.
21 She does not fear for her house when it snows,
for her entire household[c] is clothed in crimson.
22 She makes for herself coverings;
her clothing is fine linen and purple.
