“Seeing a farm, she buys it, And from the fruits of her hands she plants her plot of land.

Strongly girding her loins, she strengthens her arms for work. She experiences work as a good thing, And her lamp is not quenched all night.

She extends her arms to do profitable things, And she applies her hands to the spindle.

She opens her hands to the poor And reaches out with her fruit to the needy.”

– Proverbs 31: 15-20
