She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

Verse 20 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 breitet ihre Hände aus zu dem Armen und reicht ihre Hand dem Dürftigen.
Alargó su mano al pobre, Y extendió sus manos al menesteroso.
Abre su palma al pobre y tiende sus manos al necesitado.
Elle tend la main au malheureux, Elle tend la main à l'indigent.
Ella allarga la mano all’afflitto, E porge le mani al bisognoso.
Abre a sua mão ao pobre, e estende as suas mãos ao necessitado.
她張手賙濟困苦人, 伸手幫助貧窮人。
