She stretchesout her handsto the distaff,And her handsgraspthe spindle.
"May it fallon the headof Joaband on allhis father'shouse;and may there not failfrom the houseof Joabone who has a discharge,or who is a leper,or who takesholdof a distaff,or who fallsby the sword,or who lacksbread."
She sensesthat her gainis good;Her lampdoes not goout at night.
She extendsher handto the poor,And she stretchesout her handsto the needy.
