Verse 13 is found in chapter 31 of Proverbs. The virtuous woman is described through an acrostic poem presenting multiple dimensions of her activity: she manages resources, trades, works, organizes the household, and considers the future. Her value is not reduced to an isolated domestic role; the poem highlights competence, diligence, generosity, and fear of the Lord. Her relationship with the poor shows that family prosperity is not separated from social responsibility.

Sie geht mit Wolle und Flachs um und arbeitet gern mit ihren Händen.
Buscó lana y lino, Y con voluntad labró de sus manos.
Busca lana y lino, y trabaja con gusto con sus manos.
Elle se procure de la laine et du lin, Et travaille d'une main joyeuse.
Ella cerca della lana e del lino, E lavora delle sue mani con diletto.
Busca lã e linho, e trabalha de boa vontade com suas mãos.
她尋找羊毛和麻, 歡喜用手做工。
