31:19 Her hands she hath sent forth on a spindle, And her hands have held a distaff.

31:20 Her hand she hath spread forth to the poor, Yea, her hands she sent forth to the needy.

31:21 She is not afraid of her household from snow, For all her household are clothed [with] scarlet.

31:22 Ornamental coverings she hath made for herself, Silk and purple [are] her clothing.
