Prov. 31:13,19• 13She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
 19She putteth her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. (Prov. 31:13,19)

1 Kings 10:28• 28And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove of horses, at a price. (1 Kings 10:28)
;
Ezek. 27:16• 16Syria dealt with thee for the multitude of thy handiworks: they traded in thy markets with carbuncles, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and corals, and rubies. (Ezek. 27:16)
;
Luke 16:19• 19Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day. (Luke 16:19)
• (Samech) Not only has she sufficient to clothe her household and herself, but her unwearying industry enables her to produce linen garments and girdles for the caravan-merchants, who readily purchase the work of her hands, to carry them to distant places. Thus she is “bearing fruit in good works,” and her abundant labors provide clothing for those far-removed from her own dwelling. The spiritual lesson is easily seen. She who is faithful in ministering at home, and clothes herself in a garment of practical godliness and righteousness, will have enough and to spare for the blessing of others in “the regions beyond.” (“Proverbs Thirty-One” by H.A. Ironside)
