13She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14She is like the merchants' ships: she bringeth her food from afar;
15And she riseth while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and the day's work to her maidens.
16She considereth a field, and acquireth it; of the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17She girdeth her loins with strength, and maketh strong her arms.
18She perceiveth that her earning is good; her lamp goeth not out by night.
19She putteth her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
20She stretcheth out her hand to the afflicted, and she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22She maketh herself coverlets; her clothing is byssus and purple.
23Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
