She considers a field and buys it;
with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
She dresses herself with strength
and makes her arms strong.
She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.

and her hands hold the spindle.
She opens her hand to the poor
and reaches out her hands to the needy.
