She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

Verse 19 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 streckt ihre Hand nach dem Rocken, und ihre Finger fassen die Spindel.
Aplicó sus manos al huso, Y sus manos tomaron la rueca.
Extiende sus manos a la rueca y sus palmas sostienen el huso.
Elle met la main à la quenouille, Et ses doigts tiennent le fuseau.
Ella mette la mano al fuso, E le sue palme impugnano la conocchia.
Estende as suas mãos ao fuso, e suas mãos pegam na roca.
她伸手拿捲線桿, 她的手掌把住紡車。
