20. She extends her palms to the oni; indeed, she reacheth forth her yadayim to the evyon (needy).

21. She is not afraid of the sheleg (snow) for her bais; for all her bais are clothed with scarlet.

23. Her ba'al (husband) is known in the she'arim, when he sitteth among the ziknei eretz.

24. She maketh fine garments, and selleth them; and delivereth sashes unto the kena'ani (merchant).

25. Oz (strength) and hadar (dignity) are her clothing; and her smile is toward the yom acharon (coming day, future).

26. She openeth her peh (mouth) with chochmah; and on her lashon is the torat chesed (teaching of kindness).

27. She watcheth well over the halichot (goings, ways) of her bais (household), and eateth not the lechem atzlut (bread of idleness).
