Proverbs 31:21
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household, for they are all clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known at the city gate, where he sits among the elders of the land.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
