Proverbs 31:20-29

²⁰She opened her hand to the needy man, and stretched forth her hands to a poor man. (She opened her hands to the needy, and stretched forth her hands to the poor.)

²¹She shall not dread for her house of the colds of snow (or She shall not have fear for her household concerning the cold and the snow); for all her menials be clothed with double clothes.

²²She made to her a ray-cloth; bis, either white silk, and purple is the cloth of her. (She made a ray-cloth for herself; bis, or white silk, and purple maketh her cloak.)

²³Her husband is noble in the gates, when he sitteth with the senators of the earth. (Her husband is well-regarded at the city gates, when he sitteth with the elders of the land.)

²⁴She made linen cloth, and sold it; and gave a girdle to a merchant.

²⁵Strength and fairness is the clothing of her; and she shall laugh in the last day. (Strength and beauty be her clothing; and she shall laugh at tomorrow or and she shall laugh on the last day, as she did on this day.)

²⁶She opened her mouth to wisdom; and the law of mercy is in her tongue. (She opened her mouth with wisdom; and the law of love, or of kindness, is upon her tongue.)

²⁷She beheld the paths of her house; and she ate not bread idly (or and she did not eat the bread of idleness).

²⁸Her sons rose up, and preached her most blessed; her husband rose (up), and praised her.

²⁹Many daughters gathered riches; thou passedest all. (Many women have gathered in riches; but thou hast surpassed them all.)
