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.

20 Elle tend la main au malheureux, Elle tend la main à l’indigent.

21 Elle ne craint pas la neige pour sa maison, Car toute sa maison est vêtue de cramoisi.

22 Elle se fait des couvertures, Elle a des vêtements de fin lin et de pourpre.
