Proverbs 31:17 in Context — Proverbs 31

15 Elle se lève lorsqu’il est encore nuit, Et elle donne la nourriture à sa maison Et la tâche à ses servantes.

16 Elle pense à un champ, et elle l’acquiert; Du fruit de son travail elle plante une vigne.

17 Elle ceint de force ses reins, Et elle affermit ses bras.

18 Elle sent que ce qu’elle gagne est bon; Sa lampe ne s’éteint point pendant la nuit.

19 Elle met la main à la quenouille, Et ses doigts tiennent le fuseau.
