Bible in Basic English
"She puts her hands to the cloth-working rod, and her fingers take the wheel."
— Proverbs 31:19, Bible in Basic English
“She hath put out her hand to strong things, and her fingers have taken hold of the spindle.”
After looking at a field with care, she gets it for a price, planting a vine-garden with the profit of her work.
She puts a band of strength round her, and makes her arms strong.
She sees that her marketing is of profit to her: her light does not go out by night.
She puts her hands to the cloth-working rod, and her fingers take the wheel.
Her hands are stretched out to the poor; yes, she is open-handed to those who are in need.
She has no fear of the snow for her family, for all those in her house are clothed in red.
She makes for herself cushions of needlework; her clothing is fair linen and purple.
