not go_out (Some words not found in UHB: perceives that/for/because/then/when good merchandise_of,her not go_out in/on/at/with,night lamp_of,her )

Lemuel’s mother uses this clause as an overstatement in order emphasize that such a woman works until late at night, but not necessarily all night long. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “she uses a lamp to work until late a night”
